Abstract

This research work sets out to examine the socio-economic impact of Dadin-kowa Dam on its neighboring environment. Specifically, the study investigates how the dam has brought about changes in the people’s farming techniques, their standard of living and its potential contribution to the overall development of the area. The problem hinges on how the dam has triggered changes in farming techniques in the area. The proposed hypothesis (Ho) that: there is no relationship between Dadin-kowa Dam and socio-economic activities taken place around the dam site, (Hi) that: there is relationship between Dadin-kowa Dam and socio-economic activities taking place around the dam site before and after the Dam construction in Yamaltu Deba Local Government Area, are tested. The result of the hypothesis testing is that there is a significant relationship between Dadin-kowa Dam and socio-economic activities around the dam site. Therefore, it is concluded that the socio-economic activities of people around the dam site are strongly influenced by the dam.
