Daily wind speed and directions obtained using wind vane and anemometer for a period of ten years (1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) were acquired from meteorological station located at longitude 07 o 41′ E and latitude 11 o 08′ W, altitude of 686 m in Nigerian college of aviation technolog Zaria. The readings were usually taken twice in a day, at 10.00 am and at 4.00 pm. The results showed a relative dominance of N-E.
