"Sharing is a mechanism of getting rid of unnecessary envy and any form of marginalisation in our communities" This was the submission of the Management Committee Chairman of Barkin Ladi LGA of Plateau state Hon. Jock Alamba at the closing ceremony on a peace building workshop organized by Equal Access International at The Hotel hall of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Kuru, Jos South LGA of Plateau state on 7 May, 2021.
The Management Committee Chairman said he is an advocate of sharing amongst people within communities, strongly believes that the crisis being experience in Plateau state and other part of the world is as result of one person feeling unequal and marginalised that gave birth to envy, jealousy and unnecessary hatred amongst the people, that led to the breakage of peace resulting into crisis.
He commended Equal Access International for taking the bull by the horn to challenge the forces of crisis and disharmony in our society to organize a workshop on peace and to give equal opportunity to everyone regardless of gender, religion and background.
Responding to the groups' presentations on structure of community they want to see, Hon. Alamba said we have communities that are far away from the picture of communities painted in the presentations in terms of amenities, so the need to look beyond that and focus on communities that are lacking in amenities in order to foster, promote and sustain lasting peace.
Participants were drawn from Plateau, Benue, Kaduna and Kano States and certificate of participation was given to the participants by the Management Committee Chairman.
