Background of the Study
Communities affected by insurgency face a myriad of challenges, including displacement, destruction of infrastructure, loss of livelihoods, and psychological trauma. In Maiduguri Local Government Area, Borno State, which has experienced years of insurgent activities, rebuilding efforts require holistic approaches that address both physical reconstruction and social cohesion. Development communication plays a vital role in these efforts by fostering dialogue, promoting community participation, and disseminating information to build trust and resilience (Mustapha & Abubakar, 2023). Through participatory methods such as town hall meetings, community radio, and storytelling, communication bridges gaps between affected communities and development agencies, enabling inclusive and sustainable rebuilding processes.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite ongoing rebuilding efforts in Maiduguri LGA, many challenges persist, including limited community engagement, mistrust between stakeholders, and inadequate access to information on available resources. These gaps hinder the efficiency and sustainability of reconstruction programs (Ali & Hassan, 2024). While development communication has been recognized as a key strategy in post-conflict recovery, its potential remains underutilized. This study investigates how development communication can enhance community rebuilding efforts, addressing the challenges and leveraging communication for sustainable recovery in Maiduguri LGA.
