As a team of researchers begin work with the Niger state chapter of the Child Protection Network to carryout a situation assessment of conflicts in the state, Youths in four communities have promised to remain peaceful, at all times. The youths who were part of focus group discussions or administration of questionnaires in their respective communities asserted that they have always been obedient and law abiding citizens who uphold peace and dialogue. They however called on government and wealthy citizens of the state to provide more job and income opportunities for them.

The SITAN being facilitated by C4PS will continue in Plateau, Bauchi, Kaduna, Gombe and Kano states.
