The Commandant further stated that, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) is a primary stakeholder in ensuring and promoting continuous peace in Nigeria and in view of this the Corps is mandated to devise an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to co-opt peace through establishing the Corps’ Core Mandates of securing lives and properties of the civil populace.
Educating the natives, the State Commandant briefly explained that, Alternative Dispute Resolution and Peace-building as a process of mediating, reconciling and/or resolving disputes between industrial partnerships, relationships and workplaces by proffering a voluntary and/or consensual agreements between involved parties as opposed to being compelled or decided by authorities.
