These conflicts are predominantly centered on disputes over land and cause great insecurity and widespread displacement across the region. On 02 August 2021, herdsman a�acked several communi�es in Tahu ward of Bassa LGA in Plateau State. These a�acks resulted in a large-scale displacement towards the neighbouring communi�es in same LGA. Following this event, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff to inform the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports u�lize direct observa�on and a broad network of key informants to gather representa�ve data and collect informa�on on the number, profile, and immediate needs of affected popula�ons. The a�acks, which lasted for 7 days and affected 9 villages, has led to the displacement of an es�mated 15,000 individuals. A total of 38 casual�es were recorded and 1,250 shelters were burnt down. The affected popula�on moved to neighbouring communi�es of Miango ward in search of safety. According to the rapid assessment, 52 percent of IDPs men�oned food as their primary need. Food was followed by shelter (reported by 25% of IDPs), NFI (reported by 15% of IDPs) and medical services (reported by 8% of IDPs). ± 15,000 Bassa Bauchi Gombe Jos North Jos East Kaduna Jos South Riyom Kanam Barikin Ladi Mangu Kanke Plateau Pankshin Bokkos Langtang North Wase Mikang Taraba Qua'an Pan Shendam 3,795 5,655 5,550 XXX Affected population Men Women Children Nasarawa Langtang South Affected LGA LGAs State 20 18 1,250 © OpenStreetMap (and) contributors, CC-BY-SA Injured Deaths Burnt shelters The map is for illustration purposes only.

  • Report on Campaign Against Electoral Violence – 2007 Plateau State
    Report on Campaign against Electoral Violence – 2007 Plateau State With the collaboration of YARAC - Youth, Adolescent, Reflection and Action Center YARAC Creativity & Service REPORT ON ACTIVITIES DURING THE CAMPAIGNS REPORT ON THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST ELECTORAL VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA INTRODUCTION As a prelude to the Campaign against Electoral Violence in Nigeria, a survey was conducted with the aid of the annual Afro-Barometer/PSI surveys. The specific targets though in relation to the CAEVIN Project in Plateau state included two local government areas in just six(6) states. The whole essence of the survey was to determine change in perceptions before and after sensitization through campaigns in these states which have been noted to have a propensity towards conflict and other negatives during periods of election. Surveys in Plateau state were conducted in two local government areas. Jos-n North and Qua’an Pan. In Jos-North there were two designated enumeration areas, and these were; Those for Jos-north were; - Unity Commercial Institute - Alhaji Sabitu Abass Those for Qua’an Pan were; - Agwan Dan Zaria in Piya (or Ampiya) - Mai Anglican, Pandam From the surveys taken, one clearly noticeable drawback was the fact that the names of designated enumeration areas had been extracted from an obsolete source, thereby creating a drawback in locating these places. All of the designated places have had their names replaced, and it was later discovered that the names were extracted from a 1970’s census document. Places like Unity Commercial and Angwan Dan Zaria for instance had lost their names due to the either the change in the name of the landmark, as was seen with Unity Commercial, which was the name of a school, and is now called Highland College.

  • Identity Politics and the Jos Crisis: Evidence, Lessons and Challenges of Good Governance
    African Journal of History and Culture (AJHC) Vol. 2(3), pp. 42-52, April 2010 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJHC © 2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Identity politics and the Jos crisis: Evidence, lessons and challenges of good governance Terhemba Nom Ambe-Uva School of International Studies, National Open University of Nigeria, 14-16 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria. E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: +2348068799158. Accepted 3 March, 2010 Concerns with identity politics especially those woven around conflict have got an almost outrageous timeliness. The salient global role of ethnic and religious identity as it affects everything from democratic development to risk of disruptive communal conflicts at domestic level has become an important dimension of present-day world societies, looming largely in multiethnic societies. This paper takes a critical look at identity politics and conflict in Jos, a setting once regarded as “the home of peace and tourism in Nigeria”. The point of departure is a critical examination of the 28 November, 2008 crisis in Jos North LGA. Using in-depth interviews and content analysis of opinions, the study situates the conflict within the relationship between the “indigene-settler” syndrome and the state, with its ugly hydra-headed manifestations. It argues that the conflict with a colouration of ethnic and religious garb was also orchestrated under the façade of politics. It is suggested that the commitment of good governance and the institutionalisation of democracy remains the surest means of nipping in the bud the crises in Jos. The findings have important implications for aggregate research on ethnic and religious conflicts in Nigeria.

The paper started by discussing western education and the indigenous knowledge of the Tarok people and the possible threat of indigenous knowledge extinction due to lack of written records and problems associated with preservation and conservation of the knowledge. The paper also looked at the brief history of Tarok People, the philosophical basis of the Tarok indigenous knowledge/education, the differences and similarities between Tarok indigenous knowledge and western education, and the aspect of the Tarok indigenous knowledge. Finally, the paper concluded that the Tarok indigenous knowledge was more practical than the western education and that the indigenous type of education had a bearing to the traditions, norms and culture of the people. The paper also recommended among others, the establishment of Tarok indigenous knowledge resource centres (museum) and written record on Tarok indigenous knowledge to avoid the threat of extinction.

  • INTRODUCTION. Natural Disasters, Such As Floods, Are a Reality of Living in Nigeria
    INTRODUCTION. Natural disasters, such as floods, are a reality of living in Nigeria. The impact of such disasters can be significant and given the remoteness of the communities usually affected, response from outside is often difficult or even impossible. As a result, increasing the capacity of communities and local authorities to mitigate and reduce the impact of disasters, as well as improve the preparedness and resilience of communities, is a priority for CAID and NEMA. An emergency can create chaos and uncertainty. In such situations, emergency response staff must be calm, prepared and well trained to cope appropriately. Speed, efficiency and good co-ordination are crucial in the early warning and early response phase in order to minimize the human and economic cost of disasters. In 2012, Plateau state, Nigeria was categorized in ‘class B’ among other states of the federation due to the impact of the devastating flood disaster that occurred. In view of these, concerted efforts by CAID Nigeria/NEMA to address these challenges led to a partnership and development of a flood disaster contingency plan. In a bid to test the efficacy and workability of these plans, a simulation exercise was conducted in the three (3) Schools based communities of Utan, Angware and Kalong in the three (3) LGAs of Jos North, Jos East and Shendam of Plateau state. The simulation exercise was carried out one after another in the three (3) aforementioned communities from 12th, 13th and 14th March,2019 respectively. A Simulation Exercise(SimEx) is a fictional disaster event created with the purpose of testing plans and procedures that would come into effect during a real emergency, helping to identify strengths and weaknesses.

    The Politics and Economics of “Fadama” Irrigation and Product sales in the Tin Mining areas of the Jos Plateau in Nigeria. Draft paper for WOW working group on the politics of land, authority, and natural resources.1 Henry Gyang Mang Centre for Conflict Management and Peace Studies University of Jos, Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. 1 Panel 3: unsettled and emergent authorities: How do authorities emerge and decline in the face of disturbance and crisis? Conflict, squatting, and migration present challenges to existing authorities. How do these disturbances reconfigure the basis of authority and the balance of power among local actors? 0 The Politics and Economics of “Fadama” Irrigation and Product sales in the Tin Mining areas of the Jos Plateau in Nigeria. Abstract This work discusses the transition in the politics and economics of irrigation farming in the Jos area of Plateau state, Nigeria. Examining the former and latter constructions of ownership, use, commerce and authority of land and products of obtained from it. The advent of commercial dry season farming called “fadama” or “lambu” in the Plateau area around the 1980’s produced a new group of temporary migrants. Itinerant farmers from the far north, who took advantage of the deserted mining ponds in and around Jos, the capital of Plateau state in Central Nigeria. This development saw the periodical use by the mainly Hausa farmers from the far north, of land in the dry season, slowly building a community in consonance with a few settled Fulani.2 A new landlord-tenant relationship emerged, which saw the “tenants” relating well with their hosts, the autochthonous “land owners” who initially were quite oblivious of this new mode of irrigation, This relationship lasted until the 1990’s when skirmishes and emerging interests of the autochthons groups brought conflict between the two groups.

Abdullahi, Muhammad Maigari Dr. Peter NungshakWika Dr. Uthman A. Abdul-Qadir Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Sociology UsmanuDanfodiyo University Sokoto Abstract ;This paper attempt to know the perception of the residents of Jos metropolis on the internal security management of Jos crises from 2001-2014 the years that witnessed the violent expression of ethno-religious and political crises and the implication for the recurring breach of peace in the state capital and environs. The growing erosion of internal security in Jos and the responses it elicited from the people raise several pertinent questions regarding the management of internal security in Nigeria and Jos in particular. Previous studies were undertaken to unearth the causes,effects of the violent bouts and the way out but none of the researches attempted to assess the perception of residents on the security strategies adopted to curtail the crises, which has become intractable, and is characterized as political and ethno-religious mainly between Christian category and Muslims category.The continuous manipulations of these socially constructed categories trigger and drive violence in the city which created anoverwrought atmosphere of anxiety, hostility and suspicion. The immediate response from the Federal and Plateau State Governments to the violent unrests has been the deployment of military forces in addition to the Police, and the setting up of commissions of enquiry.

GOKI , SHEKWONYADU IYAKWARI AND ALLU A. UMBUGADI Department of Geology and Mining, Nasarawa State University, Nigeria (*corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT The potential for geotourism and mining heritage of some landscapes in parts of Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarawa and Kwara states in central Nigeria were studied and compiled. The result show that geological endowments range from insalbergs, flood basalts and dome structures, which presents natural landscape for tourism. The quartzite ridges of the Oreke area in Ilorin host the Owu Falls of 120m cascading waters, the Kafanchan flood basalts that flowed extensively from the Kagoro hills with extensive columnar jointing creating the prestigious water falls of over 30m all present versed potential for geotourism. Mining activity around the Jos Plateau (Bassa, Jos, Bukuru, Barakin Ladi and Bokkos areas), southern Kaduna (Godogodo and Jagindi) create landscapes that if properly beautified can become tourist landmarks. Adopting and harnessing these landscapes can boost and provide alternative revenue for the affected central. Keywords: geotourism, mining heritage, potential, development, central Nigeria.
