Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 9
Abstract
Nigeria,Africa‟s most populated country,has faced varying levels of internal conflicts in almost all the regions of the country. Having coexisted for over 100 years as a country since its creation by the British colonial administration in 1914, it would have been expected that the different ethnic and religious groups in the country could coexist in peace and harmony but the situation is not so, as ethnic and religious violence is a common occurrence in the country, most especially in the northern regions with Kaduna State among the most affected. This study is undertaken to understand how ethno-religious conflicts in Kaduna and Nigeria can be prevented. This will be done by trying to understand how previous conflicts were managed and how new management strategies could assist in preventing the reoccurrence of a common problem that defy solutions for decades. The study adopts cross-sectional survey method in collecting data with a sample of 1600 respondents resident in Kaduna metropolisselected for the study.Findingsreveal that the lack of implementation of recommendations by reports into the numerous conflicts by committees set up to do so is one of the reasons why the conflicts keep reoccurring. As such it is recommended that the government must be seen to be just in the implementation of reports and that community exchange programmes should be initiated to promote more interactions among the divergent peoples in Kaduna State.
