This correction was made in the gallery proof (see attached) to replace Mayor Orezime Atima with Emmanuel Oluwadare Balogun (oluwadareus@yahoo.com) but was not implemented. The change is necessary as Emmanuel conceived the study, as indicated in the author contributions section of the published manuscript.

The original article has been corrected.
