NHRC Says True Reconciliation Only Lasting Solution to Insurgency

The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC has urged for true reconciliation for a lasting solution to the insurgency crisis in north east.

The Executive Secretary of the commission, Chief Tony Ojukwu, made the call today in Maiduguri at the second meeting of the Borno State Project Advisory Committee, SPAC on promoting reconciliation, reintegration, and transitional justice.

Chief Tony Ojukwu said a lot of damage had been done in communities of affected states in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe where the commission was engaged in promoting reconciliation, reintegration and transitional justice funded by European Union, EU and United Nations Development Programme, UNDP.

He said the project had laid foundation for a sustainable, peaceful and developed society where consideration would be given to the victims and the communities, not undermining the necessity for justice with regards to the perpetrators.
