Lack of good roads in the study area has great negative impacts on the socio-economic activities of the rural communities. The observations of the area show that transport system has been faced with numerous problems due to poor road maintenance and bad road, lack of fund to construct good roads and poor road network.

The result implies that the provision of transport services in rural areas is to a large extent satisfactory. Also, the result of the findings indicates that transport system has a significant impact on rural development in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State. The findings equally, reveal that transport system has played significant role in the development of Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State. The study concluded that there is a significant relationship between the causes of road accident on urban/rural road and the problems of transport system in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State. The study recommended that the government and private organizations should organize public awareness programs on the dangers of inexperience driving alongside the positive role of transport system on rural development.


Introduction
Transport is seen as a necessary ingredient in all aspects of socioeconomic development. It plays a key role in getting land into production, in marketing agricultural commodities and in the development of industries, in the expansion of ideas.1 Highlighted the similarities between rural transportation and rural development and noted that no society can exist above subsistence level without a measure of improvement in its transport system. The concept of rural development has received good publicity and attention in recent years in development literature.2 It is on the recommendation list of development planners as an elixir that can ignite the overall development of a region. The placement of emphasis on rural development by policy makers and development planners stems from the realization that rural areas are pivotal to national and regional development. This is by virtue of the abundance of primary products, especially agricultural products like cocoa, timber, coffee, palm oil, rubber etc. in the rural sector. It is common knowledge that these primary products are the foremost ingredients of industrial processes in the urban sector.

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:
