This is against the backdrop of the emergence of pockets of communities of Tiv migrants from Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau States resident in Niger State. Relying on documentary evidence as well as qualitative data from key informant interviews (KIIs), the study examines socio-political and economic factors that drive the current trend of rural-rural migration and situates its implication for future inter-group relations. The study posits that their migration and settlement patterns are driven by a combination of factors, such as fear, violence and exigencies of livelihood resulting from violent conflict between Tiv and other ethnic groups in the north-central geo-political region of Nigeria. It submits that pro-active measures that draw from the provisions of the Constitution of Nigeria need to be put in place in order to bring about necessary mitigation.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>SUNDAY ORINYA (Federal University of Lafia)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Emerging, enclave, internal migration, settlership, Tiv<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: INTERNAL DISPLACEMENT AND EMERGING TREND OF RURAL-RURAL MIGRATION IN NIGERIA: A STUDY OF TIV&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[3843,3631,1643,3844,3845],"class_list":["post-6554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-emerging","tag-enclave","tag-internal-migration","tag-settlership","tag-tiv","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
