In this interview, he explains how their peace initiatives are yielding results in communities.
Y
ou are into peace initiatives and youth mobilisation/ empowerment in Plateau communities. Why?
I am motivated by the simple reason that there ought to be peaceful coexistence in the society because it is vital to human progress.
As a Plateau indigene, I grew up to meet peaceful coexistence and good neighbourliness among the different ethno-religious groups until violence began in 2001 in the state, which brought division and mistrust.
