| dc.description.abstract | This paper basically investigates the importance of Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) in generating an environment of trust for proper social relations and maintaining a peaceful atmosphere for sustainable cooperation between universities and their host communities. Experiences over the years have revealed a fluctuating peace and understanding between institutions of higher learning in Nigeria and their host communities with some conflict situations resulting to loss of lives and property. Various approaches have also been adopted to resolve such conflicts, and measures taken to prevent future occurrence. Therefore, through personal interviews and related published works of other researchers, as well as analytical method, the paper identifies approaches to confidence building measures, and explicitly discusses the importance of confidence building measures in unifying Universities and their host communities, with a focus on Kwara State University (KWASU) and Malete Community. It further encourages the appreciation of the essence and effectiveness of confidence building measures in solving contemporary conflict issues as well as in facilitating sustainable cooperation and development. It conclusively recommends that through involvement and participation of the host community in the projects and activities of universities confidence building measures will be furthered and sustained. | |
