Background of the Study
Prolonged conflicts have far-reaching socio-political consequences, particularly in regions where governance structures are already fragile. Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC) in Borno State, which has been at the epicenter of the Boko Haram insurgency, serves as a poignant example of how persistent violence disrupts governance and political stability. The socio-political implications of the ongoing insurgency have led to challenges in governance, including reduced state authority, weakened public institutions, and a shift in the political landscape.
The state’s ability to manage security, provide essential services, and foster social cohesion has been severely compromised. As the insurgency continues, displaced persons face significant challenges in accessing basic services, while political elites and local governments struggle to maintain control. This study aims to examine the socio-political implications of the prolonged conflict in Maiduguri, focusing on its impact on governance and local political dynamics.
Statement of the Problem
The prolonged conflict in Maiduguri has destabilized governance structures, resulting in inefficiencies in service delivery, governance breakdown, and altered political power dynamics. The continuous insurgency has hindered the ability of the government to govern effectively, exacerbating issues such as corruption, public mistrust, and lack of essential services. This study will explore the socio-political impacts of this prolonged conflict on governance in Maiduguri.
