 A four-day workshop has been held for security agencies on how to identify early warning signs and mitigate crises in Benwe and Plata States. The workshop was held for police officers, members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and vigilante groups. The program officer of Clean Foundation, Eberi Mberabu and the Deputy Country Director of Equal Access International, Gad Pita, organized the workshop. For example, this was the civil defence, the VJR, the ACRC together to promote inter-NTC, co-librational and modernity and also to work with the community in the embassies to address the violent conflict and communities within the state. We are working on a project called Secure Energy and Communities and the whole idea of the project is to increase the participation of civilians in security issues in their communities. So we are working directly with women and youth in three local governments in Benwe State who are Braille-Rise and Agatou and in Nigeria we are working in four states, Kanu, Kaduna and Kanu and each of those states we are working in three local government. Are you agree with me that if you look at the history or recent history of those states I mentioned, you notice that there are states that have gone through and completed the order. All Novenry State is one of the states that is known for crisis. Header for more crisis, banditry, kidnapping and all other vices in the state. And so to come here and gather other agencies, security agencies together to train us on the issue of human approach of policing is very essential. And number one, do the synergy of the security agencies together. Let me start by saying that this program is very timely based on the situation in the country when it comes to security and most especially in Benwe State and in the latter states. And I know that at the end of the day we are going to come out being the later officers. It's going to broaden our knowledge about to police our community and how to accept them.
