Background of the Study
Education plays a critical role in fostering political awareness and participation, equipping citizens with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage effectively in governance. Civic education programs, in particular, are designed to inform individuals about their rights, responsibilities, and the importance of active participation in democratic processes (Bello & Usman, 2023). In Mubi North LGA, Adamawa State, various civic education initiatives have been implemented to enhance political participation, particularly among youth and marginalized groups. However, disparities in access to education and the effectiveness of these programs have sparked debates about their overall impact (Amina et al., 2024). This study evaluates the relationship between education and political participation in Mubi North LGA, focusing on the role of civic education programs.

Understanding the factors influencing the effectiveness of civic education and its impact on political engagement is essential for addressing these challenges and fostering a more informed electorate.
