Abstract: Purpose: The empirical study assessed the Effect of Almijiri on Conflict in Kaduna State. Methodology: The culture of poverty theory by Oscar Lewis (1966) was employed to analyze the social cultural factors influencing the system of Almijiri in Kaduna state. Survey design was adopted for the study. 252 Almijirai, malamai, and members of the public were selected using a simple random sampling via lottery across six Local Government Areas in the state. Regression analysis and the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed to measure the relationship between the dependent variable (conflict) and the independent variable Almijiri (proxy by Street Begging and Poverty). Findings: The findings from Analysis of Variance showed a significant positive relationship between street begging and conflict in Kaduna state (48%). Also, poverty has a positive and significant relationship with conflict in Kaduna state (49%). Recommendation: The study recommends appropriate measures like the Universal Basic Education Act and the Tsangaya Model School should be fully implemented by the government to harness and galvanize the system with modern and inclusive education.
