Background of the Study
The administration of local governments in Nigeria faces numerous challenges, especially in areas with significant geopolitical influences. Gwale Local Government Area (LGA) in Kano State is no exception, as its local governance is heavily impacted by political affiliations, ethnic dynamics, and regional interests (Musa & Suleiman, 2024). As one of the more urbanized LGAs in Kano, Gwale is prone to various geopolitical challenges, including competition for resources, political power struggles, and the influence of neighboring local governments. Additionally, the role of religious and ethnic identities in shaping political agendas often exacerbates tensions within local governance structures (Musa & Suleiman, 2024). These challenges hinder the effective administration of local governments, affecting service delivery, political stability, and community trust in governance. This study seeks to assess the extent to which geopolitical challenges influence the governance and administrative processes in Gwale LGA.
