Background of the Study
Dutse Local Government Area (LGA) in Jigawa State is a region rich in cultural heritage, with a long history of traditional practices, arts, and rituals. However, the preservation of these cultural identities has been increasingly influenced by geopolitical boundaries, particularly as state and national policies impact local governance and cultural initiatives. The imposition of geopolitical boundaries, especially in the context of administrative divisions and resource allocation, has led to challenges in safeguarding the region's cultural heritage (Usman & Bashir, 2024). This study aims to assess the impact of these boundaries on the efforts to preserve Dutse's cultural assets, exploring both the positive and negative effects of geopolitical influences on local heritage management strategies.
