Buru said, “Peace Revival is out for reconciliation mission within the Hausas and Hausa Fulani Muslims and Christians, not only within Southern Kaduna but all over the country.

“This is a thing of concern and that is why we are doing what we are doing,’’ he said.

Buru said that the NGO had been working hard to restore lasting peace in the area.

“We advise the government and we are hoping that we will see positive results coming from the government’s end,’’ he said.

According to him, the people of Southern Kaduna, who spoke with the organisation during their peace mission to the area, complained that they were  being marginalised in terms of appointments and development.

He urged the state government to involve the local people in its peace and reconciliation programmes.

According to him, government did not normally consult with the affected communities, but only representatives to talk on their behalf.

“They just talk and go. There would be no implementation and we will not see any positive result,’’ Buru said.

He said that the NGO had advised various communities to channel their grievances properly and through the right channels, so as to attract government attention.
