 Over the years, Kanduna State has been faced with the challenges of insecurity, periodic, ethno-religious, communal conflict disputes between Hades and families, as well as a high intensity of banditry in some parts of the state. This led to the launching of an early warning system response by the Peace Commission in 2021 to engage communities to report early warning signals, initiate timely response, control fake news spread, dull tensions and generate data for informed decisions and policymaking. As part of effort to minimize conflicts and sustain a peaceful atmosphere in the state, the Kanduna State Peace Commission, United Nations Development Program, trained 40 media practitioners on conflict early warning response systems and conflict sensitive reporting. The one-day training of journalists drawn from three sanitary districts with the aim to improve their reporting skills and dulls in tension to ensure peace. If the reportage of the media is squared towards one way is biased, it is one that would help to escalate conflict. We realize that that would not be helpful to us in Nigeria, in Kanduna State as a whole. So we are engaging with the media to see that we're strengthening their skills towards having conflict sensitive reportage that carries people along that is more analytic. Kaduna Zono Director of National Broadcasting Commission Jamilu Jega said in conflict resolution media practitioners must always imbibe the guiding principle of the broadcasting code in order to promote peace and economic development. Some of the journalists who participated expressed the light on the training saying it had sharpened these skills in reportage and wasted our tensions in conflict communities. This training has now honed my skills in the sense that I will now report on peace journalism. I've learnt not to in my writing not to exacerbate tensions but to dulls tension. I should also, it has equipped me on how to step down conflict. I now know the causes of conflict and I also know how to reduce conflict via my writing. Program is like a refresher training program for journalists throughout Kaduna State both from central Kanduna State, Kaffancha and the Zahriak Journal and then to kind of put it into us again that we really have a responsibility. We have a lot to offer in the state. Kaduna State has been phrased with challenges of insecurity, periodic ethno-religious conflicts, communal violence and dispute between heirs and farmers as well as high intensity of banditry in some part of the states.
