    WOFAN-ICON2 Project, Country Director Dr. Salamatu Garba emphasized the need for collaborative efforts to tackle food security challenges.

    She highlighted the importance of language in conflict resolution, suggesting that journalists refer to herders as “livestock farmers” instead of “antagonistic groups” to promote a more balanced narrative.

    The national dialogue also examined the critical role of traditional leaders in conflict resolution and the need for policy harmonization to support sustainable agricultural practices and security.
