Page 10, 8.0 Recommendations
Deriving from issues identified in the course of the workshop, the following recommendations are made:
1. Advocacy and awareness campaigns as further necessary or follow-up actions should be undertaken by IPCR. A visit should be paid to the governor of Kwara state and the Share-Tsaragi communities
2. IPCR should organise a Peace Rally for the communities
3. IPCR leadership should also pay a courtesy visit to the President of the Nigerian Senate in view of his interest in poultry value chain. Share-Tsaragi is the gateway to the Shonga farms where a multi-million naira poultry project is prop for implementation by the Kwara state government through the Shonga Farms Holdings Limited. Crisis in Share Tsaragi will negatively impact on the agricultural business in Shonga and its environs.
4. IPCR and UNDP should closely monitor the peace process so as to use it as a success case study model and look out for the possibility of practical intervention of this nature in other parts of country. - Traditional/religious leadersPage 2, 6.0 Setting up of an Interim Committee of Share-Tsaragi Peace Development Committee:
