A GROUP OF PARLIAMENTARIANS FROM THE OROMIA REGION OF ETHIOPIA VISITED PPBA

Commensurate to our mantra of being a ‘home for all’, we had the privilege of hosting a group of parliamentarians from the Oromia Region of Ethiopia, who were at our office to understudy our peacebuilding model and exchange experience of international best practices in this increasingly challenging field.

Led by the Speaker of the Caffee Oromia Regional Parliament, Mrs. Seada Abdurahman, the delegation had a robust interactive session with the Director General of the PPBA, Mr. Joelengs Joseph Lengmang, the Management and other Team Leads of the agency, where discussions were centered around experiences in inter-ethnic tensions; inter-play of politics and conflict, and the farmer/herder clashes, amongst others..

The learning and study visit, which was facilitated by one of PPBA’s reliable partners, Humanitarian Dialogue, HD had in attendance the Country Manager of HD, Dr. Chris Agoha, Dr. Yassin Ahmed and other staff of the INGO.

We are humbled by the fact that our modest contribution to conflict prevention and peacebuilding has continued to attract the attention and interest of wide range of stakeholders from within and outside the shores of our beloved country, Nigeria.

Our immense gratitude goes to the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon. Simon B. Lalong, KSGG for his continuous support and to our partners, HD, GIZ, PPPN and others for the collaboration that is yielding results. We are optimistic that we will in active collaboration with other partners, continue to consolidate on the modest gains we have achieved over the years.
