The Emir of Fika, His Royal Highness Alhaji Ibn Mohammed Idrissa, has called for the strengthening of traditional institutions, insisting that the role of traditional rulers in peace building across Nigeria cannot be wished away.
He said the duty of peacebuilding and resolution, which was hitherto domiciled with the emirates, has been taken over by the government. Idrissa noted that the peaceful community development initiative strategy, which was formulated and funded by the British Council and the European Union, needs to be sustained to ensure lasting peace in the region.
The Emir of Bade, Yobe State, Alhaji Abubakar Umar Suleiman, also emphasised that traditional institutions are responsible for resolving conflicts and are the best way of conflict resolution as it has no cost and delays like government institutions.
