Background of the Study
The oil and gas sector operates in inherently volatile markets characterized by fluctuating prices, political instability, regulatory uncertainties, and technological disruptions. Effective risk mitigation strategies are critical for ensuring sustainability and profitability in this high-stakes industry (KPMG, 2023).
In Jigawa State, oil and gas firms face unique challenges due to environmental concerns, community relations, and infrastructure deficits. As these firms seek to navigate the volatility of the sector, employing strategic risk management practices becomes a key priority (Usman & Garba, 2024).
This study explores the risk mitigation strategies adopted by oil and gas firms in Jigawa State and their effectiveness in maintaining operational stability and competitiveness.
Statement of the Problem
Oil and gas firms in Jigawa State face numerous risks, including price volatility, regulatory changes, and security threats. Despite the critical need for risk mitigation, many firms lack the capacity to implement comprehensive strategies, leading to operational disruptions and financial losses (Adebayo et al., 2025).
Limited research exists on the specific risk mitigation practices employed by oil and gas firms in Jigawa State. This study addresses this gap by appraising the strategies utilized and their impact on business resilience.

Research Hypotheses

Scope and Limitations of the Study
