| description | : Government or public policies are policies that are made at different times and in most cases by
different governmental organizations. This can be at the federal, state and at the local levels through which the
governments advance and make meaningful economic and human developments. Gombe state government in
Eastern Northern Nigeria in its response to the numerous complaints by its citizens over the political violence
activities perpetrated by youth groups known as Kalare in the state has formulated two policies with the
intention to eradicate these violence activities. These policies include Anti Kalare Squad and Talba
Empowerment Scheme (TES) but unfortunately these policies achieved limited success especially in eradicating
the violent activities perpetrated by the youth. Hence, this paper assessed the factors responsible for the limited
success of the two policies. The findings of this paper revealed that the implementation of these policies was
marred by political interference influenced by personal interest and political sentiments. The study recommends
that a monitoring and evaluation and mediating committees should be set up which will function as mediator
among the different Kalare groups to ensure proper implementation of the policies.
