A statement signed by Co-Executive Directors of the centre, Pastor Dr. James Movel Wuye and Imam Dr. Muhammad Nurayn Ashafa at the end of a one day round table discussion with newsmen in Kaduna, the meeting called on security agencies in the country to collaborate with the media to always promote peaceful coexistence in the country.

The meeting observed, “Security agencies should always respond timely when media practioners contact them for a balance story on any alleged conflict, in order to avoid unbalance report.
