Background of the Study
Soba Local Government Area (LGA) in Kaduna State, like many other parts of northern Nigeria, faces significant challenges related to income inequality. Geopolitical factors, including the region's historical political landscape, ethnic diversity, and resource allocation, have played a key role in shaping patterns of wealth distribution. Income inequality in Soba has been exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, competition for scarce resources, and inconsistent policy implementation at both local and state levels (Usman & Lawal, 2024). This study will investigate how these geopolitical factors contribute to income inequality in Soba LGA, examining the role of regional political dynamics, governance practices, and resource distribution in shaping economic disparities within the region.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite various poverty alleviation programs, Soba LGA continues to experience high levels of income inequality. Geopolitical factors such as ethnic and political rivalries, disparities in resource allocation, and limited access to economic opportunities have contributed to this inequality. This study aims to explore how these geopolitical factors contribute to income inequality in Soba LGA and provide recommendations for addressing the root causes of these disparities.
