Abstract

The focus of this research is ethno-religious conflicts in the Bauchi metropolis during the period 2011-2021, and its creation of several negative impacts on the general development of Bauchi state. It follows a holistic principle through which it engages both primary and secondary data for the same reason as Structural Conflict Theory (SCT) explains causes and consequences of the involvement of these conflicts. Primarily surveys are used data sources, and originally government’s reports are used to declaim additional information. Via the secondary academic literature, library research results turned phenomena add more facts which have been occurred in the past through media archives. The study lays out the socioeconomic inequalities, political power, and cultural differences as the notions, which give life to this big problem. In addition, it monitors the effect on the structure, the rate of growth and economic attributes, and the society downward. The real goal of this study which should be proof-oriented is to give recommendations of how to manage conflicts in the communities and draft development policies - others that will be sustainable. It is up to the advisers to formulate recommendations that can direct policymakers, researches, and community leaders to be in one accord and in charge.
