The Implications of Settling Displaced Persons in Host Communities on Management of Public Services in Yobe State

The objective of this study is to investigate the implications of settling the IDPs in host communities on the public services management in Yobe State. In addition to the body of literature consulted on the implications of settling the IDPs in host communities on the public services management, the study adopts Human Need theory developed by Abraham Moslow and Burton. The study adopts qualitative method, whereby data on the implications of settling the IDPs in host communities on the public services management was collected from 9 sampled respondents through direct interview. The study finds that IDPs face limited job opportunities and often resort to low paying manual labor to make ends meet. It also finds that trade opportunities are limited in IDPs communities, and that many IDPs are dependent on NGOs for support. The study also notes that the government is not providing job opportunities to IDPs and those NGOs are only providing employment on a contract basis. The study concludes that the overall impact of IDPs settlements on public services management is negative, affecting key areas, such as employment, trade, and nutrition. Thus, the study recommended implementing and enforcing existing laws and policies on IDPs providing adequate assistance and protection to IDPs addressing the underlying causes of displacement providing livelihood opportunities enhancing education and healthcare services, etc. Bashir Muhammad Yusuf | Dr. Hindatu Yerima Maigari | Dr. Naziru Mohammed Musalli "The Implications of Settling Displaced Persons in Host Communities on Management of Public Services in Yobe State" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-7 | Issue-3 , June 2023, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com.com/papers/ijtsrd57508.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com.com/management/other/57508/the-implications-of-settling-displaced-persons-in-host-communities-on-management-of-public-services-in-yobe-state/bashir-muhammad-yusuf
