Background of the Study
Security plays a pivotal role in fostering economic growth, especially in regions that face security challenges. In Jibia Local Government Area (LGA) in Katsina State, local security initiatives have become increasingly important as the area grapples with criminal activities such as cattle rustling, banditry, and other forms of insecurity. These challenges have had adverse effects on local businesses, agricultural productivity, and overall economic stability. Local security initiatives, such as community policing, vigilante groups, and neighborhood watch schemes, have emerged as responses to these challenges. The effectiveness of these initiatives in curbing crime and promoting economic growth remains an area of concern that this study seeks to address (Jibril & Usman, 2023).
This study will evaluate the impact of local security initiatives on economic growth in Jibia, focusing on their influence on business activities, agricultural output, and general economic development. By examining the relationship between security and economic growth, the study aims to provide recommendations for strengthening security initiatives to promote sustainable economic development.
