MADRID DEFORESTATION IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND STUDENTS’ LEARNING IN TARABA STATE: AN ECO-CRITICAL AN ANALYSIS OF HELON HABILA’S OIL ON WATER

Abstract

The study was carried out to examine Madrid Deforestation and its
Implications on Society Using Helon Habila’s Oil on Water. Four (4)
research questionnaires and ten questionnaire items were formulated
to guide the study. The study adopted descriptive research design. It
made use of purposive random sampling technique to select three
areas prominent to the case study in Taraba State. The questionnaire
was designed using agreed, strongly agreed, disagreed, and strongly
disagreed to collect data for the study. The questionnaires were
administered to collect relevant data which was analysed using
percentage. The result of the finding revealed that Madrid
deforestation has negative influence on the society. It is
recommended that Taraba state Government should consider the
Madrid deforestation and its negative influence on the society and
then provide a standard measure to stop it or to look for a suitable
means of having a Madrid industry in the state to gain more revenue.
Community leaders should not give preference to the Madrid
deforestation in their community. Agric extension workers and
government administrators should ensure that commoners are
educated about the influence of Madrid deforestation to create
awareness on the importance of forest preservation in every
community.
