As a member of the Prevent Committee in my state, I took part in a PIND training on resource mobilization. This training has helped me in managing my NGO, Neserok Development Initiative. I learned how to access and maximize readily available resources, whether cash or kind.
At Nsereok, we are working towards raising a society of young who actively participate in government and governance. We want young people to understand early on that dialogue is better than carrying guns. We are part of the open government partnership (OGP) in Delta State, and we go to schools to teach students the basic principles of OGP.
The goal is for them to understand OGP even as they become leaders. With the 2023 elections approaching, we carried out capacity-building training for youth and women on conflict prevention and resolution. Apart from my work through Neserok, as a P4P member, I also apply my peace-building skills within my community. When there are clashes between farmers and herders, I will mitigate them. In one of these incidents, after mediation, the Fulani herdsman replaced the farmer’s broken cassava stems with fresh ones.
