STATE INTERVENTION AND COMMUNAL CONFLICTS IN GOMBE STATE: A STUDY OF SELECTED CASES
Abstract
The greatest threat facing the survival of Nigerian democracy and unity is general insecurity
occasioned by various communal conflicts. Communal conflicts in Nigeria are caused by
competition over access to land and other natural resources.
For over a decade the Gombe
southern senatorial district has been enmeshed in communal conflict, resulting into huge
human and economic loss. The study assessed state intervention in the management of
Dadiya, Kaltungo, Tula and Waja communal conflicts from the period 2006-2013.The
protracted social conflict theory by Azar (1990) was used to underpin the study.
The study
adopted survey research design, where both primary and secondary were used. Quantitative
data were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages, while chi-square was used to test
the hypotheses.
Data generated through interviews were analyzed qualitatively. The study
established that the protracted nature of the conflict in Dadiya-Tula, Dadiya-Kaltungo and
Dadiya-Waja communities in Balanga and Kaltungo local government areas is as a result of
non-implementations of the various committees/panel‟s recommendations, the study also
revealed that, the strategies adopted by the state government are not suitable for the
management of the communal conflict.
Hence, the study recommended a holistic approach to
conflict management, Gombe state Government should adequately utilize peace talks as a
strategy for the management of communal conflict in the understudied areas and Gombe state
government should demonstrate its political will by implementing the recommendations of
the committees‟ set-up by both state and the local government.
