Yobe State Youths Trained to Tackle Extremism and Violence Through Peacebuilding

In Yobe State, youth are undergoing training to combat extremism and violence by promoting peacebuilding, mutual understanding, and intergenerational dialogue. Led by organizations like Zai Development Foundation, the initiative aims to develop peace champions who can bridge generational gaps and engage in community decision-making.

Fatima Kolo Lawan and Tachia Jarlath are key figures in the program, which equips young leaders with practical skills for dialogue facilitation and mentorship to prevent youth recruitment into extremist groups.
