The increase in migration into urban cities in Nigeria has posed a challenge to the Nigerian government. This study access the causes of rural-urban migration in major cities in Nigeria of which Enugu Urban is a case study. There are several factor responsible for rural-urban migration which influence the migrant's migration status. The study attempts to find answers to research questions by using survey design and sampling techniques to collect data from 210 (153) respondents with the aid of a 10-item structured questionnaire and personal interview. The respondents comprise of heads of household of migrants' (remove this) in the study area. Data for this study were edited, coded and analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) and descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that majority of the migrants migrated to continue their education rather than in search of employment as concluded by a lot of past studies. It also revealed that the impact of out-migration in the area includes: absence of youths to assist parents in their profession, lack of work force to work on farms, and desertion of the area by the youths as it affects the aged and children. The study recommends measures to limit rapid increase in urbanization, as well as strategies to reduce rural-urban migration and also profound ways of making the rural areas (include) comfortable for rural dwellers. Through government's support in the development and funding of small and medium scale rural enterprises, government should promulgate policies that will provide basic amenities in rural areas and finally higher school (tertiary institutions) such as polytechnics (include this) and universities should be sited in rural areas.

Erosion related problems has been on the increase in some part of Ekwusigo local government area and its environs in particular and southestern Nigeria at large for some decades now and all past attempts at solving the problem have proved ineffective and thus constituting risk to the people living in such area or erosion prone area. The research was embarked upon to assess the erodibility of soil over different parent materials in selected part of study area. Soil samples were collected from profile pits dugs in three different locations namely: Egbema, Nza and Ifite Oraifite. A total of fifteen soil samples in all comprising five samples from each profile pit with a depth of 2m and according to the clarity of the different horizons was collected. The samples were air dried, crushed and sieved in 2mm before subjected to test in the laboratory for both physical and chemical. Sand fraction in all the three locations showed porosity below 50%, the ECEC were found to be low likewise the organic content and the PH in the three locations. The properties exhibited by this soil indicate that the soil has been subjected to high rate of weathering and leaching they are easily detachable and transported by runoff, hence there stability is low.
