Atyap chiefdom organises workshop on trauma and mediation

The Atyap chiefdom of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area in Kaduna State has organised a one-day sensitisation workshop on trauma and mediation for members of the Peace, Reconciliation, Resettlement and Rehabilitation subcommittee.

Following months of attacks and counter-attacks in the area, a committee was established by the Agwatyap, Dominic Gambo Yahaya with the mandate of interacting with those directly affected by the insecurity to ensure their reintegration into communities.

Facilitated by Interfaith Mediation Centre, Kaduna, the workshop was also intended to train and fully equip members of the committee on the best way to go about the task before them.

Speaking at the workshop, held at the palace of the Agwatyap, the Co-Executive Director, Interfaith Mediation Centre, Imam Muhammad Nurain Ashafa, encouraged all those affected by the crisis to forgive, forget and forge ahead with life.

Similarly, Reverend James Wuye stressed on the need for all to take all that happened in good faith and reintegrate irrespective of all differences for legitimate businesses to thrive.
