Poverty, Inequality, and conflict data

This study explores the interplay between poverty, inequality, and conflict in the North Central region of Nigeria, with an emphasis on the moderating role of socioeconomic development. Drawing upon the Relative Deprivation Theory, the research investigates how perceived economic disparities exacerbate conflicts, disrupting livelihoods and intensifying poverty. The study utilises a structured questionnaire administered to residents of Benue, Nasarawa, Niger, and Plateau states, using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) for analysis.
