NSCDC Trains Personnel On Modern Conflict Resolution Techniques

Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Akwa Ibom State Command, has trained its Area Commanders, Divisional Officers and other personnel on modern conflict management techniques.
NSCDC Commandant in the State, Mr Abidemi Majekodunmi, who declared the training open on Saturday in Uyo, enjoined the personnel to take advantage of the efficacy of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism.
The Tide’s source reports that the workshop had, as its theme: “Early Warning and Early Response and Conflict Prevention for Communities and Security Providers.”
Majekodunmi charged participants to be serious with every aspect of the workshop which, he said, would equip them to handle the complexities of conflict resolution, using mediation, negotiation and arbitration.
“As divisional officers, you are expected to interface in conflicts at the incipient stage before it degenerates into full-blown crises.
“Alternative dispute resolution is an important non-kinetic tool in conflict resolution which produces great results if rightly and tactfully deployed,” he said.
He commended the NSCDC Commandant-General, Dr Ahmed Audi, for organising the workshop to improve the capacity of personnel in conflict resolution as a key factor in promoting growth and development in the country.
The Tide’s source reports that the Resource Person, Mr Oguntayo Olayinka, examined the principles and procedures of conflict management.
He discussed extensively the concept of alternative dispute resolution, its modus operandi and the corps’ projections for 2022 in this regard.
Olayinka urged the participants to collaborate with stakeholders in conflict resolution, such as traditional authority, religious leaders, community-based organisations (CBOs), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and security agencies.
He identified possible areas of conflicts to include: farmer/herders’ crises, debt recovery, land disputes and interpersonal/family disputes, among others, stressing that they varied from one environment to the other.
