NOA's Peacebuilding Strategy for 2027 Elections Unveiled

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has reaffirmed its commitment to peacebuilding in preparation for the 2027 general elections, utilizing the Structures Platforms Strategies and Coordination (SPSC) Framework established by Director-General Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu. This commitment was articulated by Adamu Umar Sarkinyara, Ag Director of the Bauchi State office of NOA, during the 2026 International Day of Peace celebration at the MHWUN Conference Hall, Federal Secretariat, Bauchi.

NOA Bauchi will implement a three-phase strategy focusing on pre-election sensitization on Continuous Voter Registration and PVC collection, combating electoral violence, and promoting peace through community engagement.

Post-election, NOA will facilitate peacebuilding and reconciliation in communities affected by electoral divisions. The initiative aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda and includes partnerships with various stakeholders to counter misinformation and promote national values.
