Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>France has urged Nigeria to engage politicians, local and religious authorities in communities to overcome its security challenges.<\/p>\n

French Ambassador to Nigeria, Jerome Pasquier, spoke at a meeting on Security, Peace Development in Zamfara.<\/p>\n

It was organised by Pastoral Resolve (PARE) in collaboration with the French Embassy PISCCA Project in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Pasquier said the problems of Nigeria\u2019s North, including banditry, insurgency, and low access to education, cannot be resolved by non-governmental organisations and the civil society alone.<\/p>\n

The envoy, represented by Rafael Pont, Head of Corporation and Cultural Affairs, French Embassy, noted that all stakeholders must be included in the dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the key things in resolving this crisis is dialogue, engaging all the actors on ground, the political side, local authorities, traditional rulers and leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not only one NGO or CSO that has the power to resolve everything, It is a matter of tackling the challenges together\u201d, Pasquier stressed.<\/p>\n

PARE Project Coordinator, Umar Maraduna, regretted that security challenges in Zamfara have caused a high level of poverty and food insecurity.<\/p>\n

Maraduna said the state is currently North-West\u2019s epicentre of cattle rustling, kidnapping for ransom, and killings, particularly in rural
\nareas.<\/p>\n

Director, Zamfara Directorate of NGOs, Nasir Usman, lamented that the state\u2019s food production has dropped by 30 percent.<\/p>\n

Usman added that the worst-hit areas are enormously fertile farmlands where most foods are produced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
