Background of the Study
Conflict in Nigeria has long been a significant issue, particularly in regions with diverse ethnic and religious groups. Wukari Local Government in Taraba State has experienced a series of violent conflicts stemming from ethnic, religious, and political tensions. In response, both the state and local governments, as well as civil society organizations, have developed and implemented various conflict resolution policies and frameworks to restore peace and security. These frameworks typically involve dialogue, peacebuilding initiatives, and the strengthening of local governance structures (Ali & Tanimu, 2023). Despite these efforts, conflicts continue to recur, raising questions about the effectiveness of existing policy frameworks in addressing the root causes of violence and building sustainable peace. This study will assess the policy frameworks for conflict resolution in Wukari, focusing on their effectiveness and the challenges to their implementation.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Although various conflict resolution policies have been introduced in Wukari, the persistence of violence and ethnic tensions suggests that these frameworks may not be fully effective. Factors such as the lack of trust between ethnic groups, insufficient resources for peacebuilding programs, and the failure to address the underlying socio-economic issues have impeded the success of these policies (Jibril & Musa, 2024). This study seeks to examine the impact of existing conflict resolution frameworks in Wukari and identify the reasons for their limited success in fostering lasting peace.
