Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Religious events such as conventions, crusades, and festivals play a significant role in fostering family reunification and social cohesion. In Makurdi Local Government Area, Benue State, religious events often serve as platforms for spiritual renewal, community bonding, and family reconciliation. According to Udeh and Oche (2023), religious events provide opportunities for families to come together, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. These events also promote shared values and collective identity, contributing to social harmony. However, challenges such as logistical constraints, financial barriers, and interfaith tensions can affect the effectiveness of religious events in promoting family reunification. This study evaluates the impact of religious events on family reunification, focusing on their benefits, challenges, and implications in Makurdi.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of religious events to foster family reunification, their impact is often limited by challenges such as inadequate planning, financial constraints, and lack of inclusivity. These issues can hinder the ability of religious events to bring families together and address underlying conflicts. While studies have explored the social impact of religious events, limited research focuses on their specific role in family reunification in Makurdi (Eze & Agbo, 2024). This study seeks to address this gap by evaluating the impact of religious events on family reunification in Makurdi Local Government Area.
