    FARMERS-HERDERS CONFLICTS IN NORTH CENTRAL GEO­ POLITICAL ZONE IN NIGERIA: KENYAN EXPERIENCE
    (Department of Political Science, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2019-08-08) Saleh, Amina Bala; Izom, Yahuza Danjuma; Erunke, Canice Esidence
    The main objective of this paper is to examine the implications of restructuring the grazing system in Nigeria’s North-central geo-political zone and how this exercise will in turn guarantee peace and stability among crop-famers on the one hand, and pastoralists on the other. The high rate of devastations occasioned by frequent violent clashes between pastoralists and farmers and the level of destruction of lives and properties in most states around the North-central geo-political zones have been a major problem to meaningful socio-economic development. Some of the States such as Benue, Plateau, Taraba and Nasarawa, have in recent times witnessed increased blood-bath, massive death and displacement of people due to clashes over grazing land. The study therefore sets out to interrogate some of these critical issues with the aim of bringing remedy to the region. The work submits that there is need to establish the Bureau for Land Administration in the affected states, and to ensure that cattle grazing is kept in strict check while recalcitrant herders are brought to book and punished where necessary. The paper is a theoretical analysis of existing works of scholars in the broader academic field of pastoralist studies. The paper relies on secondary sources as method of investigation. The paper came up with the conclusion and recommendations to the effect that grazing system requires the adoption of international best practices to bring about peace, mutual co-existence and stability in all its ramifications.

    IMPACT AND THE CHALLENGES OF NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME POLICY IMPLEMENTATION: AN ASSESSMENT OF NATIONAL TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE’S HEADQUARTERS WORKERS
    (Department of Political Science, Nasarawa State University, Keffi., 2019-01-19) Abdullahi, Mohammed Yamma; Izom, Yahuza Danjuma
    Nigeria's growing population increasingly challenges the quest for better healthcare services by the government, which is already over-burdened with the responsibility of providing social services including the healthcare services. However, government can no longer bear the cost alone going by the exponential increase in both the morbidity and mortality rates of the population which exert unbearable pressure on the cost and quantum of healthcare service provision. Hence, the need for an effective advocacy for easy access and affordable healthcare services. That led to the establishment of the National Health Insurance Scheme to augment government's efforts. The scheme is designed to achieve a number of objectives to alleviate the health challenges of Nigerians. This study adopts a descriptive survey design method to examine the impact and the challenges of the National Health Insurance Scheme Implementation since 2005 with specific reference to the National Teachers' Institute's Headquarters workers. It further adopts the use of a descriptive survey research method. The theoretical framework applicable to this research work is motivational theory propounded by Vroom because it recognizes that if workers are motivated, they can be more productive. This paper proffers recommendations to the federal, state and local governments as well as the insurance scheme implementers to maximize the political will to perform effectively in the discharge of the insurance commission’s mandate with a view to accomplishing its set objectives.
