This study investigated seasonal variability of Air Quality Index (AQI), Particulate Matter (PM 2.5 ) and weather parameters of Minna Town, Niger State, Nigeria. The study used secondary climatic data from IQ Air Earth (https://www.iqair.com/earth?nav) used for air quality monitoring and compared them with multiple sources such as real-time data from governments. The findings indicated that dry season had maximum of 137 AQI value and minimum of 64 AQI. Dry season had maximum Particulate Matter [PM2.5] value of 20.1µg/m3 and minimum value of 7.1µg/m3 with a range value of 13µg/m3 and the wet season had maximum Particulate Matter [PM 2.5 ] value of 19.1 µg/m 3 and minimum of 10.1µg/m 3 with a range of 9µg/m 3 . Temperature had maximum value of 29 0 C and minimum value of 23 0 C with a range of 6 0 C during the dry season and wet season temperature had maximum value of 28 0 C and minimum value of 21 0 C with a range of 7 0 C. During the wet season, humidity had maximum value of 97% and minimum value of 72% with a range of 25% and in the dry season, humidity had maximum value of 89% and minimum value of 67% with a range of 22%. Thus, during the dry season, wind speed had maximum value of 11.2Km/h and minimum value of 5.7Km/h with a range of 5.5Km/h and in the wet season, wind speed had maximum value of 8.1Km/h and minimum value of 2.6Km/h with a range of 5.5Km/h. During the wet season air pressure had maximum value of 1015mb and minimum value of 1009mb with a range of 6mb. While during the dry season, air pressure had maximum value of 1014mb and minimum value of 1011mb with a range of 3mb. It is recommended that government and private partners should set-up functional weather stations and individuals should limit outdoor activities during harsh weather periods.
本研究调查了尼日利亚尼日尔州Minna镇空气质量指数(AQI)、颗粒物(PM 2.5)和天气参数的季节变化。该研究使用了IQ Air Earth (https://www.iqair.com/earth?nav)用于空气质量监测的二手气候数据，并将其与政府实时数据等多种来源进行了比较。结果表明:旱季AQI值最大值为137，最小值为64;旱季颗粒物[PM2.5]最大值为20.1µg/m3，最小值为7.1µg/m3，范围为13µg/m3;雨季颗粒物[PM2.5]最大值为19.1µg/m3，最小值为10.1µg/ m3，范围为9µg/ m3。温度29 0 C的最大值和最小值23与一系列6 0 0 C C在旱季和雨季温度最大值的28日0 21 C和最小值0 C与一系列7 0 C在潮湿的季节,湿度97%的最大值和最小值为72%与25%,在旱季,湿度89%的最大值和最小值为67%与22%的范围。因此，干季风速最大值为11.2Km/h，最小值为5.7Km/h，范围为5.5Km/h;湿季风速最大值为8.1Km/h，最小值为2.6Km/h，范围为5.5Km/h。在雨季，气压最大值为1015mb，最小值为1009mb，范围为6mb。而在旱季，气压最大值为1014mb，最小值为1011mb，范围为3mb。建议政府和私营合作伙伴建立功能正常的气象站，并建议个人在恶劣天气期间限制户外活动。

Tourism development has been described as one of the fastest growing industries in the world. With the quest of Oyo state government for alternative sources of revenue generation, there is the need for inventory of tourism resources in the state. This paper therefore provides scenic view of geographical patterns of tourism resources in Iseyin Local Government Area, Oyo state, Nigeria. The paper mainly depended on the review of literature on tourism development and policy. The analysis showed that tourism attractions/sites are spatially distributed in the local government area with Iseyin and Ado-Awaye axis more endowed than other parts of the local government area. Most of the tourism resources are naturally made like the Suspended Lake, Ishage Rock, Agbomofunyake Depression, Iya-Alaro Lake, Elephant Tree, the Elders’ Foot Prints, Ikere Gorge Dam among others. Others such as Aso-Oke Festival and Maje Kankan Shrine are man-made (socio-cultural heritage) phenomena. Despite these huge tourism resources, defective tourism development policy reflecting in inadequate funding, dearth of infrastructural facilities especially poor road network to the sites and inadequate information about the tourism sites hinder the government revenue drive accruable from tourism development. There is no doubt that with effective policy, adequate funding, infrastructural facilities and effective marketing strategy, the tourism facilities in the area can improve the socio-economic development of the people in the area and improve the revenue drive of the government
