EU trains Yobe community leaders on traditional justice system

The European Union through its funded British Council Managing Conflict Programme in the North East said it trained 640 community leaders on the traditional justice system in Yobe State.

Participants were selected from across Bade, Damaturu, Fika and Potiskum emirates.

The MCN programme coordinator, Abdulkadir Sambo made this known to journalists during a one-day policy dialogue on strengthening traditional justice system held in Damaturu.

Sambo noted that the concept of the project stemmed from the fact that many disputes are handled locally by the non-formal sector.

He said traditional rulers and community leaders were key actors in resolving such disputes without necessarily going to court or involving the police.

He added that the clergy and other stakeholders, who resolve such disputes, require training to enable them to dispense quality justice.

In his remarks, the programme facilitator, Aminu Inuwa Muhammad said the rationale behind the policy dialogue was to share the experience with traditional rulers who deliver justice at the local level with basic knowledge of alternative dispute resolution.

He said significant improvement has been recorded right from the inception of the project to date adding that about 9,221 disputes were resolved from 2018 to November  2020 in Yobe State.
