Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Urban migration is a global phenomenon characterized by the movement of people from rural areas to cities in search of better economic opportunities, education, and social amenities. In Nigeria, this trend has led to various socio-economic challenges, including overcrowding, unemployment, and inadequate infrastructure. Tudun Wada Local Government Area, Kano State, is no exception to these challenges, as urban migration has significantly shaped its socio-economic dynamics. Films, as a potent medium of communication, have been used to reflect and address pressing societal issues, including the complexities of urban migration (Abdullahi & Yusuf, 2023). Nollywood and Kannywood filmmakers have increasingly explored urban migration themes, portraying the struggles and realities of individuals affected by this phenomenon (Aliyu, 2024). Such films not only entertain but also educate audiences, raising awareness of the challenges associated with urban migration and fostering discourse on potential solutions.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Urban migration has introduced significant socio-economic challenges in Tudun Wada, including a rise in informal settlements, pressure on public services, and increased unemployment. While films have the potential to spotlight these issues and propose solutions, their role in addressing urban migration challenges in Tudun Wada remains underexplored. The absence of research on the effectiveness of films in fostering awareness and discourse around urban migration challenges necessitates this study (Muhammad, 2023).
