In a recent address, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called for justice, accountability, and reconciliation to address persistent conflicts and social divisions in Nigeria’s North-central region. According to Premium Times Nigeria, Osinbajo stated that such actions are necessary to foster peace and development in the region, which has been plagued by conflicts for several years. The region, which encompasses states like Kaduna, Plateau, and Nasarawa, has witnessed numerous violent clashes between farmers and herders, ethnic and religious tensions, and banditry. These conflicts have resulted in significant loss of lives and properties, as well as displacement of communities. Osinbajo’s call for justice and accountability underscores the need for the government to take decisive action to address the root causes of these conflicts and to hold perpetrators accountable. This is a crucial step towards ending the violence and fostering peace and stability in the region. Premium Times Nigeria did not report on any specific measures that the government plans to take in response to Osinbajo’s call, and the former Vice President has not said when the facility began operating.
