In a statement, the institute highlighted the devastating impact of these attacks on innocent lives and the country’s overall security, noting that the recent killings have raised serious concerns for the Nigerian government and other key stakeholders.

The ongoing violence has led to severe humanitarian challenges, including displacement, psychological trauma, and loss of livelihoods. The IPCR stressed the urgent need for the government to take decisive action to tackle the root causes of these conflicts and to protect the safety and well-being of all citizens.

The IPCR therefore recommended that the government engage with local communities, traditional leaders, and other stakeholders to develop effective strategies for promoting peace and stability.
The institute called on Nigerians to support the government’s efforts to remedy issues around livestock production, livestock transformation, and enhancement.

“State governments should work with relevant security agencies to root out criminals and build mutual relationships between local communities, farmers, and herders. By working together, the government, local communities, and security agencies can promote peace and stability, ensuring the safety and well-being of citizens,” the IPCR boss said.

IPCR urged Nigerians to align with the Ministry of Livestock Development and the AcResal Nigeria World Bank project on climate improvements, stressing that this collaboration can help address the underlying issues driving conflicts between farmers and herders.

The Institute recommended that state governments be innovative and creative in building mutual relationships between local communities, farmers, and herders. This can be achieved through dialogue and cooperation, promoting peaceful coexistence and reducing tensions.

The institute also called on state governments to work with relevant security agencies to root out criminals, particularly in rural areas. Additionally, there is a need for effective land management.

IPCR called for accounting and gazetting of land to prevent conflicts over land ownership. The Institute also urged governments to support local initiatives and provide necessary resources to address land-related issues.

The IPCR emphasized the importance of empowering local governments to perform their basic roles in conflict management, resolution, and prevention. “Local governments should be equipped with the right capacities and skills to effectively address conflicts and promote peace,” it added.

The IPCR appreciated the efforts of security agencies, including the police, army, and DSS, and urged citizens to cooperate with them to reverse the trend of violence, stressing that by working together, Nigerians can promote peace and stability and ensure the safety and well-being of all citizens.
