Policy Issues in Agricultural Conflicts Resolution: Evaluating the Socio-Economic Implications of Insecurity and Displacements within African States of Nigeria and Ethiopia



Author(s): EO Taiwo

Abstract:

Socio-economic impact of displacement arising from insecurity and investment in land has been considered, with the discovery of far-reaching consequences incidental to the two issues. What is the role of public policy in prevention of these dare consequences and how has that role been deployed in the two African countries considered? The study found that seeming agricultural conflicts in Nigeria are only a ploy to bigger unexpressed schemes or ethno-cultural agenda. This account for the reasons why public policy have not been able to provide permanent solutions. Conversely in Ethiopia, public policy has been effectively used to promote citizen wellbeing and its attendant prosperity in terms of benefits from government regulated investments in land. In the overall, the agro-economic situation arising from insecurity instigated displacements of citizens from their ancestral lands have not favored the Nigerian nation as the rising cases of internally displaced persons in the country has remained unimaginably high thus resulting acute shortage of food and nutritional products.
