D*, Ahmed, Y. M, Fatima, A. Y Department of Geography, Taraba State University, P.M.B. 1169 Jalingo, Taraba State, Nigeria DOI: 10.36347/sjahss.2020.v08i03.006 | Received: 03.03.2020 | Accepted: 10.03.2020 | Published: 30.03.2020 *Corresponding author: Oruonye, E. D Abstract Original Research Article One of the greatest security challenges in Nigeria in recent time is the increasing conflicts between crop farmers and herders. Today, the conflict has spread over wide geographical areas on the continents of Africa, Nigeria and Taraba state in particular. In the same manner, the weapons used in the conflict have moved from small and light arms to use of heavy and complex weapons and ammunitions such as rifles and AK47 among others. Taraba State is one of the States in Nigeria that have been greatly affected by conflict between crop farmers and cattle herders. It is against this background that this paper examines the increased level of conflict between farmers and herders in Nigeria, the dynamics associated with the conflict and its impacts on food security in the country with special focus on Taraba State. This study analyses the factors that help cause or aggravate these conflicts, their evolution and spread, and their human toll in the State. It further assesses responses, especially by the federal government and its security agencies, and outlines possible strategies to reduce or prevent occurrence of the conflicts.

[] SECTION ONE BACKGROUND Bauchi State project is located in the North-East of Nigerian. There are 20 local Govemment Ares in the State. The State shares boundaries with Plateau, Kano, Jigawa, Yobe, Borno, Taraba and Gombe States. The State lies in the Savannah region of Nigeria, with variation in ecological conditions with the southern and western parts being sudan or guinea Savannah, having a relatively higher rainfall, the northern part of the State is sahel Savannah with flat lands and fewer hills. Some major rivers traverse the State. These include the river Hadeja, Jama'are, Gongola and Dindima. Most of the endemic local government areas lies along these river systems. The State has two distinct seasons', dry and rain seasons. There are six months of rain, beginning in May and ending in October. The farming season is from May to December. Most of the onchocerciasis endemic communities are not accessible all year round; the dirt and laterite roads to these communities are usually not motor-able during the height of the rainy season. Even in dry season, where the roads are sandy, four-wheel drive vehicles may be required in some instances along with motorcycles and bicycles. The settlement pattern varies in different part of the State. Generally, there is a pattern of nuclear settlements, with surrounding farmlands.

Yobe (BAY) States. January 2021. A UNHCR protection partner colleague conducts a rapid protection assessment with internally displaced people in Bama, Borno State. © UNHCR/Daniel Bisu www.unhcr.or g 1 NORTH-EAST NIGERIA OPERATIONAL UPDATE JANUARY 2021 Operational Highlights ■ The security situation in the North-East remains unpredictable. The operational area continues to be impacted by the ongoing violent conflict, terrorism, and criminal activities, which have resulted in the displacement, killing and abduction of civilians as well as the destruction of properties and critical infrastructure. The second wave of COVID-19 also continues to exacerbate the already worsening situation. A total of 43 security incidents perpetrated by NSAG in the BAY States comprised of attacks on civilians, improvised explosive devices, and attacks on security forces. ■ In Borno State, members of the non-State armed groups (NSAGs) continued their attacks on both civilian and military targets, attempted to overrun of villages and towns and mounted illegal vehicle checkpoints for the purpose of abduction, looting and robbery. The main supply routes Maiduguri- Gubio, Maiduguri-Mafa and Mungono-Ngala in the Northern axis were most severely hit. The situation along the Maiduguri-Damaturu road, a main supply route, worsened further in January, forcing the reclassification of the route from the hitherto “Restricted” to “No go” for humanitarian staff and cargo.

  • Update on the Management of the Humanitarian Crisis in the North- East Region of Nigeria: Relief Intervention by the National Emergency Management Agency (Nema)
    UPDATE ON THE MANAGEMENT OF THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN THE NORTH- EAST REGION OF NIGERIA: RELIEF INTERVENTION BY THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (NEMA) Key Facts on North-East Region of Nigeria • Landmass of 216,370 sq km with a population of about 9million. • ⅓ of Nigeria’s land mass. • Abundant water – Part of the Lake Chad Basin Area (LCA), drained by Komadugu Yobe and Gongola Rivers. Geology comprise mainly of sedimentary rock with abundant underground water system. • Farming, pastoralism and commerce, the main occupation of the populace. • Relatively under-developed compared to other regions of Nigeria. 1 FORWARD Several communities of North-East region of Nigerian have in the past five years experienced violent attacks by an armed non-state terrorist group, the Boko Haram. The heightened attacks of the group and the resultant loss of lives, the displacement of persons and the decimation of means of livelihoods in the region, led to declaration of emergency rule on Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States on the 14th May, 2013 by the Federal Government. The humanitarian outcome has equally impacted the contiguous states of Gombe, Bauchi and Taraba States and the neighboring Republics of Niger, Chad and Cameroun. Food security and socio- economic activities, including the movement of persons, exchange of commodities and services, commerce, farming and pastoralism were also disrupted due to the crisis. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in line with its statutory mandate has sustained its humanitarian support to the teaming Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The Agency has established a humanitarian cell in Borno State and sub-cells in Yobe and Adamawa States and has deployed its personnel and critical assets to the North-East to continue to meet up with the burgeoning humanitarian needs of the affected population.

Contact: [email protected] Phone: +2348037725303 Abstract Onchocerciasis is a chronic parasitic disease caused by the filarial nematode; Onchocerca volvulus and is transmitted by different species of blackflies. A study was carried out to assess the prevalence and distribution of human Onchocerciasis in Gonta, Shompa, Voding, Kasakuru and Kwanti-Nyavo communities of Ardo-kola and Yorro Local Government areas of Taraba State, Nigeria. Standard parasitological techniques of skin snip were used to collect data. A total of five hundred persons were examined comprising of 275(55.0%) males and 225(45.0%) females. Of these, 187(37.4%) were infected with Onchocerca volvulus. The male subjects are more infected (45.5%) than their female counterparts (27.5%) with statistically Significant difference in infection (2= 16.934, P = 0.000). Age-specific prevalence of infection was recorded in all age groups displaying a progressive increase with increase in age. Age group 41-50 shows the highest prevalence of infection 32(45.1%), Chi square analysis shows no significant difference in infection among age groups (2= 3.440, P= 0.633).

  • A Study of Violence-Related Deaths in Nafada Local Government Area Of
    # Makai DANIEL http://www.ifra-nigeria.org/IMG/pdf/violence-related-deaths-gombe-jigawa-state-nigeria.pdf A Study of Violence-Related Deaths in Nafada Local Government Area of Gombe State and Auyo, Gagarawa, Gumel, Gwiwa, Kaugama and Yankwasi Local Government Areas of Jigawa State (2006-2014) IFRA-Nigeria working papers series, n°46 20/01/2015 The ‘Invisible Violence’ Project Based in the premises of the French Institute for Research in Africa on the campus of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria Watch is a database project that has monitored fatal incidents and human security in Nigeria since 1 June 2006. The database compiles violent deaths on a daily basis, including fatalities resulting from accidents. It relies on a thorough reading of the Nigerian press (15 dailies & weeklies) and reports from human rights organisations. The two main objectives are to identify dangerous areas and assess the evolution of violence in the country. However, violence is not always reported by the media, especially in remote rural areas that are difficult to access. Hence, in the last 8 years, Nigeria Watch has not recorded any report of fatal incidents in some of the 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the Nigerian Federation. There are two possibilities: either these places were very peaceful, or they were not covered by the media. This series of surveys thus investigates ‘invisible’ violence. By 1 November 2014, there were still 23 LGAs with no report of fatal incidents in the Nigeria Watch database: Udung Uko and Urue-Offong/Oruko (Akwa Ibom), Kwaya Kusar (Borno), Nafada (Gombe), Auyo, Gagarawa, Kaugama and Yankwashi (Jigawa), Ingawa and Matazu (Katsina), Sakaba (Kebbi), Bassa, Igalamela- Odolu and Mopa-Muro (Kogi), Toto (Nassarawa), Ifedayo (Osun), Gudu and Gwadabaw (Sokoto), Ussa (Taraba), and Karasuwa, Machina, Nguru and Yunusari (Yobe).
