This indicated that the hypotheses tested shows that there is a significant relationship between the effects of soil erosion and the level of emerging urban centre of afuze. Furthermore, hypothesis 2 shows that that there is a significant relationship between the causes of soil erosion and the factors responsible for the degradation of Afuze and its environs. The result of hypothesis shows that the cost of controlling soil erosion in Afuze is effective and as such, can check soil erosion in the area.
