Nigeria: Some land tenure insecurity issues in Hayin Ade and Wuro Bappate

SPARC and its partner the Fulbe Development and Cultural Organization (FUDECO) want to improve understanding of the challenges that pastoralists and agropastoralists view as most critical in their own words, how these challenges impact their lives and livelihoods, what coping and adaptive strategies they currently employ and what additional assistance they would like in order to improve their futures.

This issue brief examines land tenure insecurity in two Nigerian communities, Hayin Ade in Kaduna State and Wuro Alhaji Idrisa Bappate in Taraba State, showing how local dynamics – from illegal mining to land speculation – intersect with weak governance and legal awareness to threaten pastoral and agropastoral livelihoods.
