In his effort to transform the youth of his constituency to peace builders and advocates, Rep Kwamoti sponsors the training and empowerment of 150 Youths in Numan.
Recall that barely 2 months ago the law maker trained women on similar theme and empowered them with cash donations of Hundred Thousand Naira each to boost their economy.
The training of Women and youth was preceded by the training of community based structures and institutions, such as the traditional leaders, religious leaders, youth groups and other interest groups.
The participants were drawn mostly from communities that have experienced one form of violent conflict or the other, such as pastoralist and crop farmers conflicts and communal or ethno-religious clashes.
The training according to Rt Hon. Kwamoti is aimed at fostering peace, security and understanding among constituents and building their capacity to understand the nature and consequences of violent conflicts and the strategies of mitigation.
The 3Days training which had in attendance youth from across the 30 Wards of Demsa/Numan/Lamurde federal constituency offered opportunity for participants to share their experience, coping mechanism and resilience also afforded them new orientation towards conflict prevention, resolution and resilience.
The closing ceremony saw participants received donations of One Hundred Thousand Naira each to enable them rebuild their livelihoods in a sustainable manner.
Those in attendance at the closing ceremony includes the Adamawa State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Chairmen of Demsa, Numan and Lamurde LGAs, the Special adviser to the Adamawa State Governor on food security, staff of ICPC, Adamawa State, the training facilitator, Dr. Okafor Gerrard if the Institute of Peace and Conflict Resolution, Abuja, the District Head of Numan Chief Maidan Tusayi, Chairmen of PDP, Chairmen of Christian Association of Nigeria and Muslim Council's of the 3 LGAs as well as security services and the press.
