Imo NUJ Chairman, Nwanguma, Others To Participate On Regional Peacebuilding Workshop 

The Chairman of Nigeria Union of Journalists, Imo State Council, Comrade Ifeanyi Nwanguma JP and other selected delegates will participate in a Town Hall Meeting For Regional Peace building Strategy in Niger Delta .

The one day Town Hall Meeting which will take place Today 17th May 2023 at Bon Hotel Tripod Owerri is being organized by Foundation For Partnership in the Niger Delta ( PIND).

The workshop is inline with the MoU reached with the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and in recognition of the importance of Peaceful coexistence as a panacea for the socio economic and political development of the Niger Delta region.

The Presidential Mandate of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta have embarked on a collaborative partnership to develop a Niger Delta Regional Peace building Strategy (NDRPS):for the region.

The NDRPS will provide a framework that is not just security focused but will drive conflict resolution efforts in the region, rather than purely focussing on containing conflict or de- escalating violent situations. The designing and institution of the peace building Strategy would provide an opportunity to adopt multi Stakeholder and inclusive approaches to conflict resolution and peace building.

Imo State NUJ Council Chairman, Comrade Ifeanyi Nwanguma JP and other participants are expected to engage in discussion that will recommend homegrown solutions to guide the various forms of conflict prevention and resolution in a proactive, engaging, consultative and inclusive manner.

All the invited delegates arrived Bon Hotel Tripod on 16th May 2023 ahead of the Town Hall Meeting today, being 17th May 2023.
