1.3 Objectives of the Study
The
general focus of this study is to examine the implication of herdsmen
banditry activities on food Scarcity in Nigeria. Specifically it will
Examine the different forms of banditry attacks on farming communities
Determine the extent at which herdsmen banditry activities obstruct food crop production.
Investigate the implication of herdsmen banditry activities on food crop production.
Determine if herdsmen banditry activities has any significant effect on food scarcity.
1.4 Significance of The Study
This
study will be relevant to the general public. It will heighten the
awareness of the public on the need to prepare themselves against the
upcoming food scarcity. It will open the eyes of government on the
urgent need to put security measure around farming communities exposed
to attacks to avoid the nation suffering food insecurity. It will equip
the Ministry of Agriculture with information on the implications of
national food insecurity and the need put strategies in place to ensure
that other regions of the nation start food crop production without
dependence on the crises region. This study will also educate those from
regions(especially the southeast, south-south, western states) of the
country who have interest in farming on the need to venture into it
immediately without total dependence as this will help the country not
to suffer food shortage. Lastly this Study will serve as a reference
material for other researchers and give room for further studies.
1.5 Scope of the Study
The
general focus of this study is to examine the implication of herdsmen
banditry activities on food Scarcity in Nigeria. It will examine the
different forms of banditry attacks on farming communities. It will
determine the extent at which herdsmen banditry activities obstruct food
crop production. It will investigate the implications of herdsmen
banditry activities on food crop production. It will determine if
herdsmen banditry activities has any significant effect on food
scarcity. However the scope of this Study is limited to Ibarapa and
Oke-Ogun zones in Ogun State.
1.6 Research Hypotheses
H01 : There is no significant effect of herdsmen banditry activities on farming food crop production
H02 : There is no significant impact of herdsmen banditry activities on increase in prices of food items and food scarcity.
1.7 Limitation Of Study
There are few factors that posed as limitation of the study. Those are Financial constrain and Time Constrain.
Financial
constraint– Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the
researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or
information and in the process of data collection (internet,
questionnaire and interview).
Time constraint– The researcher will
simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This
consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.
1.8 Definition Of Terms
Farming: Farming is growing crops or keeping animals by people for food and raw materials.
