Background of the Study
Trans-border conflicts, especially those involving ethnic groups, smuggling, and organized crime, pose a significant threat to national and regional security. In Nigeria, border areas such as Jibia LGA in Katsina State, which shares borders with Niger Republic, are particularly vulnerable to cross-border conflicts that affect not only local communities but also national security. These conflicts are often exacerbated by issues such as illegal trade, terrorism, and the movement of militant groups across porous borders.
Regional cooperation plays a crucial role in mitigating these trans-border conflicts, as it allows neighboring states to address the root causes and consequences of such conflicts collaboratively. The role of joint security patrols, intelligence sharing, and cross-border diplomacy in addressing security challenges is critical. This study seeks to appraise the effectiveness of regional cooperation in resolving trans-border conflicts, focusing on the collaboration between Nigeria and Niger in managing conflicts in Jibia LGA.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the existence of regional cooperation frameworks, trans-border conflicts continue to thrive in areas like Jibia LGA. The lack of coordinated efforts between Nigeria and Niger Republic in areas such as border security, information sharing, and joint peacekeeping has led to escalating violence and instability. This study will assess the effectiveness of existing regional cooperation mechanisms and identify gaps in the response to trans-border conflicts in Jibia LGA.
