ABSTRACTThis study focused on the effects of
herders-farmers clashes in Nigeria especially on the economic diversification
through agriculture. The clashes are said to be on the increase recently. The
government on its own is trying her best in curtailing the prevailing
situation. The researcher used Awgu Local Government Area as its study area.
The researcher decided to find out how these clashes affect the diversification
of the Nigerian economy through agriculture. This study was conducted using survey design and structured
questionnaire for the collection of data. The sample size was 400 while 350
were used for the analysis. The researcher used Taro Yamane to determine the
sampling techniques. The researcher discovered that this research revealed
that, Herders-farmers conflicts are like cankerworms that have eaten
deep into the fabrics of our security of lives and properties. The findings
also show that if nothing is done quickly to checkmate these clashes, it will
lead to scarcity of foods in the nearest future. The government must step up
with the security architecture in our state to broker peace between foreign
herders and indigenous farmers. These southward movements always pitch them against
farmers and the host community whose crops are regularly invaded and destroyed
by the cattle during this seasonal movement. The result of this is increased
conflict, death, displacement and the total destruction of properties. Based on the findings, it is recommended that The Federal government of Nigeria
should deploy a Joint Task Force comprising military, police, paramilitary and
civil institutions to all the affected states as an immediate response to the
conflict. This will help restore law and order and build confidence of the
general populace in the ability of the government to respond to threats. There
is a need to encourage community policing leveraging on the already existing
vigilante system in most states.
