Background of the Study

Economic diversification is a key strategy for reducing dependence on oil and fostering sustainable growth in various regions. In Jalingo LGA, Taraba State, the local government has increasingly focused on developing industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and services to reduce unemployment and mitigate political tensions (Dogo & Usman, 2023). Economic diversification has the potential to reduce political volatility by providing more economic opportunities, thus improving political stability. This study explores the role of economic diversification in reducing political tensions and enhancing local governance in Jalingo LGA.

This study aims to assess how economic diversification efforts, particularly in agriculture and local industries, influence political stability and governance in Jalingo LGA.

The findings will be valuable for policymakers, local government officials, and development agencies seeking to improve governance and foster economic growth.

1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
