Survey research design and convenience sampling method were employed for the study. Fifty (50) educated respondents who are residents of Funtua Local government in Kastina State were purposively selected which forms the population for the study. Using questionnaires as an instrument, forty-seven (47) were retrieved and validated for the study. Data were analyzed using frequencies and tables which provided answers to the research question. Findings from the study reveal that banditry is one of the major forms of insecurity that has affected the northwest geopolitical zone for the past decade. Banditry has affected all facets of human life among which is the underdevelopment of rural communities. These negative impacts include killing and kidnapping of farmers, chasing farmers out of their farmlands, seizing of farmlands, theft of cattle, burning and raiding of grain silos, and blocking of local trade routes which keep rural dwellers in economic impoverishment and lack of development since those areas are not even secured. The study, therefore, recommends that the government should with immediate urgency enhance the security network of those areas, such that security operatives are empowered with enough weapons to confront bandits. Therefore, there is an urgent need to strengthen the traditional security system and its conflict resolution component to fill the gap of the declining capacity of the state formal security agencies to meet the security needs/challenges of rural areas. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Public Administration project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of industrial conflict on the performance of workers in the government parastatal (a case study of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)»Human resources as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria (a case study of Abuja municipal area council) »The influence of effective personnel management practice in organization performance»Local government financial autonomy and grass root development in Nigeria (a case study of Afikpo north local government area)»Manpower training and development as a tool for effective performance in public sector in Nigeria»The impact of poor revenue generation on the development of Local Government Areas»Enhancing political stability in Nigeria through good governance ( a case study of Abia state)»Niger-Delta crisis and its impact on socio-economic development in Nigeria»Bureaucracy and efficiency (a case study of Enugu state civil service)»Political instability a major hindrance to effective policy implementation and good governance (a case study of Nigeria 1983 -1999)»Effects of delayed payment of lecturers salaries and wages on students performance»Fuel subsidy removal and the Nigerian economy (a case study of Abakiliki local government area, Ebonyi state) »Accountability and corruption in local government in Nigeria (Case study of Bonny local government area of Rivers state)»Impact of collective bargaining techniques on industrial relations practice (a case study of two selected firms from NUPENG and NUBIFE)»The influence of employee behaviour on the internal audit function of an organization (a case study of P.Z. industries plc Aba)
