THE CHAIRMAN’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Thanks be to God for bringing us to the end of this wonderful year thanks goes to INTERCEP for retaining me as the Chairman Board of Trustees.

I am fully persuaded that the execution of its programmes and projects, the centre must have encountered a lot of challenges in the year but with the help of God you were able to scale through the high and low as it is common with all good endeavours. As the years continue to unfold, you would be faced with greater challenges than you faced in 2011. But I encourage you to continue to be bold and tenacious in what you are doing. If we believe in our vision, we realize our mission.

My sincere prayer is that we achieve more this coming year to the betterment of the society, our generation and the generation to come.

The 4 (four) programs of the organization are as follows:

Women skill acquisition programme16

Education- Primary 1 through Adult Classes Computer classes Building unity in the community and among persons

Secondly, the seminar was to share ideas and experiences on the following topics:

To look into the conflict and crises areas To buttress that action speaks louder than voice To let parents know that passing down the hatred and pains crises has caused

to their children will only cause them more pain and more harm. Therefore, they should instil love into the children and make them see others as humans.

Thirdly, a documentary on the conflict in Northern Ireland, Belfast from 1969-1998 was viewed and compared to the crises in Jos from 2001-2015. Jos, plateau State was portrayed as a non-religious conflict, Catholic versus Protestants, a civic conflict raged from 1969-1998, 1, 600 people died and agreement/treaty reached in 1998.

How are we going to change the society to see things differently?

Teach children not to hate so that the crisis and pains will go away. Conflict Resolution Gradual disappearance of no-go areas. Breeding hatred which fuels the crises more should stop. There should be agents of change. Be security conscious. Positive economic activities and self-reliance. Parent should have a good child raising philosophy that we all are humans

and are equal. Love should be our watch word: We should know that we humans first

before race, tribe and religion separated us. We should love ourselves irrespective of religion and tribe.

Have forums for building relationships where the two religions can co-exist and in turn build a brighter and better future.

Proper orientation on security and support to the vigilante groups and teaching youth’s leadership qualities.

We should share together the things that bind us and put away things that bring conflict.

We should be advocates of peace wherever we find ourselves.

A food of thought: No one can change another individual but we can make the change by our actions and the way we think. There are no physical walls in Jos but there are walls in our hearts and we should try as much as possible to break down those walls and live in peace. We are advised to take time and know someone. We should build relationships so that we can grow together. We should see other people as humans just like ourselves. We should listen more to our hearts and we should not also allow assumptions instigate

17

violence in us but learn the truth about people and learn to co-exist. Let us be mouth piece of peace in the society and be advocates of peace and remember you do not need the permission from anyone else to love someone. Live for peace and live in peace.
