The Kwara State
Government is to set up a Reconciliation and Rehabilitation committee
that will be saddled with the responsibility of finding a permanent
solution to the issue of communal clashes in the State.
The State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed
made this announcement on Thursday while receiving the report of the
Administrative Board of Enquiry earlier set up to look into the causes
of the recent Share/Tsaragi communal clash.
According
to him, the essence of establishing the committee is to find out
permanent solutions to all cases of recurring communal crisis between
communities across the State.

The committee is to be headed by the Emir of Ilorin and Chairman, Kwara State Council of Traditional Rulers, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, who also chaired the Administrative Board of Inquiry.
While
presenting the report, the Emir expressed hope that recommendations
made by the board will go a long way in ensuring lasting peace in
communities across the State, stressing that the peaceful coexistence
enjoyed in Kwara must be sustained.
He also
thanked Governor Ahmed for giving him and other members of the
Commission the opportunity to be part of the reconciliation process.
It
will be recalled that Governor Ahmed earlier this month inaugurated a
seven-man Judicial Commission of Inquiry to find out the immediate and
remote causes of the communal clash that broke out between Share and
Tsaragi communities on December 19, 2015.
