Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri Assembly releases land for Peace Council office

The Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri District Assembly has allocated a piece of land for the establishment of a permanent office for the Local Peace Council in the district. This initiative is anticipated to bolster peacebuilding, dialogue, conflict prevention, and dispute resolution, by offering the Local Peace Council a dedicated space to function.

The land was examined by representatives of CONGINTA, a non-governmental organization expected to provide financial assistance for the project. The inspection is a crucial step towards the development of the facility.

Emmanuel Moisob, the Chairman of the Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri Local Peace Council, expressed gratitude to the District Assembly and CONGINTA for their dedication to the project. He highlighted the significance of the land provision as a milestone, indicating a collective commitment towards fostering sustainable peace in the district and the broader region. Mr. Moisob expressed confidence that, with the support of stakeholders, the project would progress successfully to completion.

Chamba Duut Banleeman Rafiq, the Secretary of the Council, also viewed the development as a major contribution to peacebuilding efforts. He is confident that, upon completion, the facility will serve as a vital center for dialogue, mediation, peace education, and community engagement, thereby promoting lasting peace and development in Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri and beyond.

The Council has thus called upon stakeholders to maintain their support for the project until its completion, emphasizing that "nothing of value comes easily."
