Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Security infrastructure is a fundamental component of large-scale event management, ensuring the safety and well-being of participants while maintaining the smooth flow of activities. Large-scale events, such as festivals, trade fairs, and political rallies, often draw significant crowds, which increases the complexity of maintaining order and addressing potential security challenges. In Gusau LGA, large-scale events serve as a platform for economic, social, and cultural exchange. However, issues such as inadequate security measures, poor crowd control, and the rising threat of insecurity in Zamfara State underscore the critical need for robust security infrastructure. Effective planning, deployment of advanced technologies, and collaboration with law enforcement agencies are essential for safeguarding events and enhancing participants' trust. This study explores the impact of security infrastructure on the management of large-scale events in Gusau LGA, examining its role in ensuring safety, addressing challenges, and providing actionable recommendations.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The management of large-scale events in Gusau LGA faces significant challenges due to inadequate security infrastructure. Issues such as crowd mismanagement, theft, and potential threats of violence compromise the safety of participants and the overall success of events. Despite the importance of security in event management, there is limited research on how infrastructure impacts event outcomes within the local context. This study seeks to address this gap by investigating the effectiveness of existing security measures, identifying areas for improvement, and proposing strategies to enhance security infrastructure for large-scale event management in Gusau LGA.
