The Upper Cretaceous Lokoja Formation of southern Niger Basin in Nigeria is a dominantly sandy facies comprising of two distinctive members, the Lokoja and Patti Siltstone. The fluvial sandstone of the Lokoja Sandstone is petrologically defined as dominantly poorly sorted angular to sub-angular, fine to aly skewed, immature lithic arkose to sub-litharenite with a detrital clayey matrix of over ...

Ten road cut samples collected from five lithological sections of Lokoja sandstone formation in the Middle Niger basin were investigated using integrated granulometric, petrographic and geochemical analyses. Results of grain size analysis; standard deviation and skewness which ranges from 0.08 to -0.05 and 0.59 to -0.07 respectively suggest very well sorted to moderately well sorted sediments. ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of persistence of transverse lie detected earlier in pregnancy and associated predisposing factors using follow-up ultrasound (US). A longitudinal study was carried out from January 2004 to august 2004 at Federal Medical centre, Lokoja, Nigeria. All singleton pregnancies, with ultrasound diagnosis of transverse lie, between 24-28 weeks were follo...
