PLO LUMUMBA: NIGERIA'S PEACE IS A COLLECTIVE EFFORT!

Nigeria has long been terrorised by militias, who raid villages and kidnap people for ransom, exacerbating religious and ethnic tensions. Since the conflict began in 2009, about 100,000 people have been killed. The latest available data shows more than 3.9 million people have been forced to flee, with more than 2 million internally displaced. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised to tackle the issue since coming to office in 2023.

Professor PLO Lumumba shared his views on Nigeria’s rogue attacks during our January news wrap in our Nairobi studio. He discussed what might work to restore order and Nigerian ethnic-groups' interest in being part of the Nigerian state.
