This study was informed by the frequent ethnic conflicts which occurred and re-occurred especially the Tiv/Jukun 1954, 1964, 1990 and 1992, the Hausa/Jukun 1987, 1998, 1999, and the Tiv/Jukun 2001 clashes in the area. The study identified three main objectives which included studying the causes and nature of ethnic conflict between the Tivs and Jukuns, to examine the measures if any were employed by the government in quelling the feud between the Tivs and the Jukuns in Taraba State and investigating the adverse effects the conflict pose to Taraba State. The theoretical framework used in the study was the social contract theory, which avers us that every society has a contract with the elite and the elite shapes and reshapes decisions of the society. This then means that it was the interest of the elite in the study areas that led to the escalation and de-escalation of the conflicts. Data for the research work were collected from archives and libraries like books, articles, journals, newspapers, unpublished research work as well as personal interviews. The study recommends the following government should handle land and chieftaincy matters with care for the purpose not compatible with the interest of the rightful owners. This will reduce conflicts of interest between the government and the governed. Government should implement the report of the various commissions of inquiries into the communal conflicts in the areas. This will show government commitment and seriousness in its fight against conflicts and clashes. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Political Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Federalism and national integration in Nigeria: issues and challenges»The role of local government in rural development: a study of Warri north local government area of Delta state»The role of political parties in democratic governance in Nigeria: a case study of PDP: 1999-2007»Dependency and underdevelopment in Africa: the Nigerian experience»Terrorism and Nigerias economy: an assessment of the boko haram insurgency»Nigerian federalism and local government autonomy»Women empowerment in Nigerian politics: (case study of Udi local government area)»Poverty reduction and sustainable development in Nigeria»Poverty and youth restiveness in Nigeria.
