STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF CATTLE RUSTLING IN SOKOTOSTATE, NIGERIA
Abstract:
A survey on the strategic management of cattle rustling in Sokoto State, Nigeria, was conducted, enrolling 400 respondents through a questionnaire. The sociodemographic data revealed that 55% of respondents were male and 45% female. The largest age group was 25-30 years (42.7%), while respondents aged ≥45 made up 9.7%. Most (53%) were married, with only 7% widowed. Farmers comprised 22.7% of the sample, and 37.2% had informal education. The strategies for managing cattle rustling received mean score indices ranging from 2.80 to 4.20, with reporting cases to Village Heads being the most effective. It is recommended that tracking the perpetrators' locations be prioritized as a key control measure. Additionally, government intervention through job creation is essential to reduce unemployment and related social issues.
