Kano, The Civil Society Coalition on Security, Peace, and Conflict Resolution has stressed the importance of effective advocacy as a viable alternative to protest.
At a press conference in Kano, National President Muhammad Musbahu Basirka highlighted the coalition’s initiative to train social media influencers and student activists in advocacy skills.
The goal is to leverage social media to influence government policies and demand accountability, rather than resorting to protests that can lead to unrest and instability.
