CLIMATE CHANGE AND FARMERS-HERDERS CONFLICT IN NORTHERN NIGERIA by OLUFUNKE .A. MOSES-OJO, ARUYA KINGSLEY JOSEPH, RILWAN ABDULLAHI ALIYU

“…The desertification of far Northern Nigeria, accompanied by the reduction in the availability of pastoral land for grazing of cattle and crop farming activities and other attendant extreme environmental conditions such as rising sea levels, drought, and other infectious diseases as a result of global warming, have forced pastoralists to migrate from the affected areas to safer parts for the survival of their means of livelihood. The study adopts the human needs theory as a framework. This framework insists that violence is a tragic expression of unmet human needs, implying that all actions undertaken by human beings are attempts to satisfy their needs and means of livelihood. …”
