The United States Institute of Peace has suggested multi track approach to the Nigeria authority to address security challenges bedeviling the nation.
Speaking at a Day Strategic North East Regional Stakeholders’ meeting in Yola, the Country Representative of the Institute, Dr. Chris Kwaja, said if this approach is adopted by the federal government it would end the security threats confronting some part of the country.
Critical stakeholders converged in the northeast region of the country which has had it’s fair share in the security challenges bedeviling the country.
The meeting which was jointly organised by the Centre for Peace and Security Studies, Modibbo Adama University, Yola, with the United States Institute for Peace, on Fostering Effective Synergy for Peace Building brought Peace Actors in the North East of Nigeria together.
