The Country Director, Global Peace Foundation Nigeria (GPFN), Rev John Joseph Hayab, has expressed delight that the formation of a Peace and Reconciliation Committee is yielding positive results in ensuring the sustenance of peace in Southern Kaduna.
Newspot recalls that the area last year witnessed the killings of people, destruction of homes and farmlands by suspected Fulani militias, especially in Kaura, Kauru and Zangon Kataf local government areas.
Represented by Abdul Ahmed, the Program Manager of the organization, Hayab said the peace foundation was determined more than ever to ensure mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence among various communities in society.
At the continuation of the peacebuilding process in Kagoro chiefdom, Kaura local government area and the inauguration of the Kagoro Peace and Reconciliation Committee, Hayab said it is only through the atmosphere of peace that people can showcase their potential.
He said, “This was informed by the belief that only by the people taking ownership of the peace-building processes themselves can there be a sincere commitment for peace and harmony among the communities, state and the country as a whole.”
He added that the formation of the Southern Kaduna Peace and Reconciliation Committee, as well as those of Zangon Kataf and Kauru Peace and Reconciliation Committees, could yield even better results for peaceful coexistence in Kagoro.
The Chairman of the Peace and Reconciliation Committee Mr. Kambai Sule, expressed gratitude to God and appreciated GPFN for the laudable initiative, assuring that he does the best he could to ensure peaceful coexistence among the various communities in the area.
