Background of the Study
Nigeria is a country rich in ethnic diversity, and this diversity has sometimes led to conflicts, especially in regions like Jigawa State. Kazaure, one of the LGAs in Jigawa, has witnessed ethnic tensions and disputes, which have threatened peaceful coexistence among its diverse communities. In such contexts, radio has emerged as an important tool for promoting peace and fostering intergroup understanding. Radio programs in Kazaure focus on peacebuilding initiatives, conflict resolution strategies, and promoting tolerance through dialogue. The ability of radio to reach large audiences and present messages of unity, peace, and cultural understanding makes it an invaluable resource for promoting peaceful coexistence in conflict-prone areas. This study aims to examine the role of radio in promoting peace in Kazaure LGA, particularly in its efforts to foster social harmony among different ethnic and religious groups.
