Abstract

This study examined the nature, causes and management of the conflict between students of Federal University Oye-Ekiti and the host community Oye-Ekiti, and also evaluated the various conflict management strategies adopted for resolving the conflict. The phenomenon of conflict between students of higher institutions and their host communities is becoming rampant in Nigeria. Little emphasis is also placed on the various strategies used in managing the conflict. Both primary and secondary means of data collection were adopted for the study. The secondary source included published books, journals and online materials while the primary source involved the use of structured questionnaire administered randomly to hundred (100) respondents which were retrieved and analysed through the use of descriptive method. Findings revealed that economic deprivation, excessive exploitation of students by host communities and disrespect of students for traditions and laws in the society are triggers of the conflict. Various conflict management strategies such as mediation, negotiation and conciliation were adopted in the resolution of the conflict which were effective and binding on the two parties. The conflict affects the education of the students and also hinders the development of the community. Both parties should strive to accommodate each other in the community.

Abstract

This study examined the mechanism for post conflict peacebuilding of the amnesty programme in the Niger Delta, with emphasis on the challenges faced in attaining sustainable peace and development in Ondo state of the region. Both primary and secondary means of data collection were adopted for the study. The primary source included the use of key informant interview while the secondary data included published text books, journals and online materials. Atlas Ti was used to analyze data collected for more qualitative insight into the findings. Findings revealed that the approach is not effective, because militants were disarmed without proper mobilization and empowerment process. Other challenges faced by the amnesty programme which are so fundamental to post conflict peacebuilding ranged from inability of the government to properly mobilized and empowered ex-combatants after acquiring the basic education or skills, corruption, political influence to lack of proper monitoring. More so, the program did not include all those involved in the Niger Delta struggle and it was perceived by residents of the region as having some political undertone. In sum, the program is yet to achieve post conflict peace building in Ondo state of the region as expected.

Abstract

Pastoralists and farmers’ conflicts have persisted for too long in Nigeria and particularly in Benue State, and the respective mechanisms adopted for managing it have brought little or no progress in dousing it. The paper thus explored the causes of the conflict in the state as well as the need for integrating nomadic education for managing it. Primary and secondary sources were used for gathering data. The paper adopted the environmental scarcity theory and utilised the survey and descriptive research design. The survey method was used to elicit quantitative data from 480 respondents aged 10years and above from purposively sampled communities across the 3 senatorial regions in the state while Key Informant Interviews and Focus Group Discussion with purposively sampled farmers, pastoralists, community and Fulani leaders were relied upon to generate the qualitative data for the study. Findings revealed that crop damages and activities of young pastoralists are the major causes of this conflict. Other causes include bush burning, unemployment, drought and water scarcity amongst others. Furthermore, respondents were of the view that introduction of nomadic education scheme will help in reducing the conflict. The paper concluded that pastoralists-farmers conflict is destructive and has dare impacts on the state in particular and the country (Nigeria) in general. Nomadic education should be incorporated into the mainstream activities of managing farmers and pastoralists conflict.
