Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Violence and conflict are persistent challenges in many regions around the world, with far-reaching consequences for social, economic, and political stability. In Nigeria, certain regions, such as Mubi North Local Government in Adamawa State, have faced significant conflict-related challenges, exacerbated by communal tensions, religious differences, and political rivalries (Sulaimon & Bello, 2023). In response to these persistent challenges, the Nigerian government and various local authorities have introduced a range of anti-violence policies aimed at reducing conflicts and promoting peace. These policies include strategies such as peacebuilding initiatives, conflict mediation, and community dialogue programs, with a focus on creating a more harmonious and stable environment for citizens (Olawale & Ibrahim, 2023).
Mubi North, which has experienced sporadic episodes of violence due to ethno-religious tensions and insurgent activities, has become a critical area for assessing the effectiveness of anti-violence policies. The local government’s efforts in conflict prevention and management aim to address underlying causes of violence, promote community cohesion, and enhance security (Dikko & Umar, 2023). This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of these anti-violence policies in reducing conflict and promoting sustainable peace within Mubi North Local Government.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the introduction of various anti-violence policies, Mubi North continues to experience conflict and violence, suggesting that the current strategies may not be fully effective in addressing the root causes of conflict or in building lasting peace (Hassan & Okoye, 2023). Issues such as inadequate implementation, lack of community participation, and insufficient resources have contributed to the persistence of violence in the region. This study aims to investigate the impact of anti-violence policies in reducing conflict in Mubi North, exploring both the successes and limitations of these policies.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the effectiveness of anti-violence policies in reducing conflicts in Mubi North Local Government.
2. To identify the challenges faced in the implementation of anti-violence policies in Mubi North.
3. To recommend strategies for improving the effectiveness of anti-violence policies in reducing conflict in Mubi North.
1.4 Research Questions
1. How effective have anti-violence policies been in reducing conflicts in Mubi North Local Government?
2. What challenges have been encountered in the implementation of anti-violence policies in Mubi North?
3. What strategies can be adopted to enhance the effectiveness of anti-violence policies in Mubi North?
1.5 Research Hypothesis
1. Anti-violence policies have significantly reduced conflict in Mubi North Local Government.
2. Insufficient resources, lack of community involvement, and political interference are key challenges to the successful implementation of anti-violence policies.
3. Strengthening community participation and improving resource allocation will enhance the effectiveness of anti-violence policies in Mubi North.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study is significant because it will provide insights into the effectiveness of anti-violence policies in reducing conflict at the local government level. The findings will inform policymakers, security agencies, and local government authorities on how to strengthen their conflict resolution frameworks and enhance peacebuilding efforts in regions prone to violence. Additionally, the study will contribute to the broader discourse on conflict prevention and peacebuilding in Nigeria.

The study’s scope will be limited to analyzing existing policies and assessing their outcomes.
