Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Political events are a cornerstone of governance and civic engagement, reflecting the dynamics of leadership, public opinion, and societal priorities. In Bama Local Government Area, Borno State, the political landscape is shaped by historical, socio-economic, and security challenges that have influenced the region’s governance structure. Photography serves as an essential tool for documenting political events, providing visual records that preserve history, foster accountability, and engage citizens in political processes. Globally, visual documentation of political events has been instrumental in capturing moments of change, influencing public discourse, and ensuring transparency. In Bama, where political events are often underreported or misrepresented due to security challenges, photography can bridge the information gap, offer unbiased perspectives, and empower local communities. This study investigates the role of photography in documenting political events in Bama, emphasizing its significance as a medium for historical preservation, transparency, and public engagement.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
In Bama, the documentation of political events is often limited by challenges such as insecurity, restricted access to information, and insufficient media representation. The lack of comprehensive visual records undermines efforts to promote transparency, accountability, and public participation in political processes. While photography has the potential to provide accurate and compelling documentation of political events, its application in Bama remains underutilized due to resource constraints and safety concerns. This study addresses these gaps by exploring the role of photography in documenting political events, analyzing its impact on governance, and highlighting strategies to enhance its effectiveness in Bama.
