Abstract:
The study assessed the effects of the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict and its socio-economic and social effects on the Tamale Metropolitan Area. Ethnic conflicts including the Dagbon conflict have impacted negatively on the livelihood of the people in the area, especially in the Northern Region in particular. In spite of its prolonged nature, there have been limited attempts to research into the effects of the Dagbon chieftaincy conflict. This study investigates the dimension of the conflict and its post negative effects on the Tamale Metropolis. Using questionnaires and interview guides for the data the study shows that the conflict has affected development in the Metropolis. The conflict has generally affected education, employment generation, health care delivery, trade, farming, agriculture, family structures, social capital and traditional leadership among others. The resolution and the installment of the king of Dagbon yielded positive economic development especially, teachers and other workers have accepted postings to the conflict area and there is now peace in the Metropolis. All recreation centers have opened and all the religious activities are going on normal without any difficulty and these tend to boost the social and economic development of the metropolis. The study recommends that various individuals, groups, stakeholders and government should provide lasting peace in the area. Government and the security agencies should maintain neutral to the conflicting parties and there is the need for a permanent security in the conflict area not only to see to the end of the conflict but also to maintain peace and security in the entire Dagbon. There must be a review of the Dagbon constitution in line with the suggestions of the eminent chiefs. The Assembly should ensure unbiased in allocation of development projects and the creation of jobs for all the youth and support the departments organizations and agencies to function properly. People from both Abudu and Andani gates should learn to tolerate, respect and coexist peacefully since they have more in common than what divides them.
