The President of the Institute of Chartered
Mediators and Conciliators, Patrick Njoku has decried the use of force,
might and authority by the government agencies to resolve conflict
situations saying most Nigerians are increasingly losing faith in the
ability of the nation’s security forces to safeguard their lives and
properties.
Speaking in Abuja at the Annual General Meeting of the institute, Mr Njoku advised conflict resolution practitioners to place more emphasis on mediation in order to restore peace in the country.
Also speaking at the occasion, former attorney general of the federation and minister of justice, Bayo Ojo stressed the need for mediators to be engaged in resolving many of the ethno-religious conflicts which has emotionally bruised many people resulting in killings and reprisal killings.
He advised the federal government, traditional rulers, religious leaders, leaders of various ethnic organisations and youth groups to seek the option of mediation as a way of resolving all conflicts.
