dc.description.abstractThe spate of Ethno-Religious conflict in Nigeria is becoming a permanent problem and measures to curb it are proving abortive. This dissertation, using the Conflict Trap Theory and the Mass Media and Modernization Approach, argued that protracted communication stimulated the ethno-religious conflicts in Jos. This thesis entitled, “Participatory Communication and Conflict Resolution: An Examination of the 2008 and 2010 Ethno-Religious Conflicts in Jos” explored the role of participatory communication in resolving and minimizing the insistent ethno-religious conflicts confronting the people of Jos, Plateau state and Nigeria. Methodologically, the study utilized both primary and secondary sources of data which included books, periodicals, internet sources and other unpublished materials. Significantly, the study found out that communication is two-edged; the way it has been used in Jos has caused more distrust, fear and disunity more than the way it has united the people. However, acting upon any information is largely dependent on what is understood and the content or message of what is shared. Hence, communication becomes an important tool in suing for development and, or, peace-building. The study went ahead to make some recommendations some of which are that the constitution as regards indigenes and citizenship should be reviewed and also that professionalism is important when reporting or dealing with information on conflicts.en_US
