NEYIF Engage Zamfara State Government on Women/Youth Empowerment and Peace Building Initiatives

The discussion between Comrade Dauda Muhammad Gombe, Executive Director of NEYIF, and His Excellency Governor Dauda Lawal Dare of Zamfara State represents a significant strategic engagement in NEYIF’s broader mission in the Northwest region.

This high-level meeting aligns with NEYIF’s comprehensive approach to addressing violent extremism and promoting peace through empowering key demographic groups. Specifically, NEYIF has identified women and youth as critical stakeholders and potential change agents in establishing and maintaining social cohesion.

The meeting likely served multiple strategic purposes and represents an important step in establishing the collaborative frameworks necessary for implementing effective community-based interventions similar to those recently conducted in Sokoto but adapted to Zamfara’s specific circumstances and needs.
