 Kaura Youth Set To Tackle Farmer-Herder Conflict 


On Saturday, May 4th, 2024, the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Kaura Local Government Area (LGA) chapter, convened a congress meeting to engage with local youth on issues pertinent to the community.


The congress, uniting key youth stakeholders and pressure groups, welcomed attendees such as Mrs. Zipporah Z. Cronoh, the Youth Officer of Kaura LGA, alongside Comr. Istifanus Yakubu, Comr. Jubal Dabo, Comr. Victor Galadima, Comrade Emmanuel N. Wada, DSS officers from Kaura, Fulani leaders, and various chiefdom youth leaders.


In her opening remarks, Comr. Patience Stephen Gandu, the coordinator of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Kaura LGA chapter, expressed gratitude to the youth for their support. 


She commended their efforts in maintaining peace within the local government, emphasizing the crucial link between peace and development.


Key highlights of the meeting included:


1. Submission of activity plans for the year by relevant youth pressure groups.

2. Presentation of reports on activities and challenges by various chiefdom youth leaders.

3. Establishment of three committees to enhance the effectiveness of the NYCN: a committee for Youth Day celebration (August 12th), chaired by Comrade Victor Galadima; a committee to organize elections for SOKAPU Youth Wing, Kaura chapter, chaired by Comr. Michael Bulus; and a committee to arrange a year-end thanksgiving service, chaired by Comrade Jubal Dabo.


In a bid to address conflicts between farmers and herders, the congress tasked the NYCN leadership with convening a meeting involving Fulani youth and other critical stakeholders to discuss strategies for reducing and managing such incidents, while urging youth to refrain from taking the law into their own hands.


Other agenda items included the registration of new pressure groups and the revalidation of existing ones, updates on scholarship activities for Kaura youth by Hon. Sankyai Obadiah, and free training sessions on solar panel installation across the ten wards by Hon. Godwin.
