Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Religious events serve as significant platforms for fostering social cohesion, particularly in culturally diverse communities. In Bauchi LGA, where multiple ethnic and religious groups coexist, events such as interfaith dialogues, religious festivals, and community prayer sessions have historically played a role in uniting people. These events encourage mutual respect, understanding, and collaboration among different groups, creating opportunities for shared experiences that transcend individual differences. However, the growing challenges of polarization and societal tension underscore the need to examine the role of religious events in promoting harmony and peaceful coexistence. By highlighting the contributions of these events to social cohesion, this study aims to provide actionable insights for stakeholders in Bauchi LGA.
