Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Disaster management in Girei Local Government Area (LGA), Adamawa State, has been greatly shaped by geopolitical factors, including local governance structures, regional cooperation, and national policies. Geopolitical influences determine how resources are allocated for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, which in turn affects the resilience of communities in the face of disasters such as floods, droughts, and communal conflicts (Mohammed & Yusuf, 2023).
Girei, located in the northeastern part of Nigeria, has witnessed its share of natural disasters, exacerbated by political challenges and inadequate infrastructure. The role of local governance and regional collaboration is pivotal in addressing these challenges. This study seeks to explore how geopolitical factors, such as local government leadership, inter-state cooperation, and resource allocation, shape disaster management in Girei (Aliyu & Ahmed, 2024). By understanding these factors, the study aims to propose more effective strategies for managing disasters in the region.
