Abstract
This study investigates strategies for collective bargaining and conflict resolution in Nigeria’s ongoing farmer-herder crises, primarily driven by resource competition over land and water. The conflict results in violence, economic disruption, and loss of life.
The research focuses on three critical dimensions: Inclusivity and Representation, Transparency and Accountability, and Flexibility and Adaptability, assessing their impact on the success of conflict mitigation through surveys and interviews with key stakeholders. Findings indicate strong positive relationships between these dimensions and conflict resolution outcomes, with Inclusivity and Representation fostering trust and collaboration (r = 0.72, p < 0.01), Transparency and Accountability enhancing open communication and responsibility (r = 0.85, p < 0.01), and Flexibility and Adaptability supporting sustainable peace by accommodating evolving circumstances (r = 0.78, p < 0.01).
The study underscores the importance of inclusive, transparent, and adaptable approaches and recommends targeted policy reforms, increased dialogue, and collaborative efforts to promote peace and drive socio-economic recovery in Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
