” So in most cases , anywhere there is crisis, you come up with this kind of roundtable and the traditional and religious leaders will play à crucial role. This training is for them to enhance their knowledge and engage new inputs . So at the end of the day , they will go back and enlighten their people. Over 200 of them have been trained in Yobe, Bauchi and Gombe states in addition to those trained in Borno state. More will be trained in other parts Northeast,” said the NEDC Boss.
