The African Centre for Leadership Strategy and Development (Centre LSD) held a town hall meeting with key stakeholders in Makurdi the Benue State capital on promoting Peaceful 2019 General Elections in Nigeria. The event which held in Hallydays Hotel Makurdi had as its core objective focused on mitigating violence before, during and after the 2019 general election in the Benue State. The town hall meeting was an offshoot of the community sensitization and rapid assessment engagement with the respective groups- traditional rulers, leaders of thought, women and youths in Gboko, Oju and Oturkpo.  The Makurdi event drew participation from the respective groups mentioned, government actors- the National Orientation Agency (NOA), and the press. The discussion at the meeting centred on how to promote peace at times of election. It was a lesson learning and sharing event between the communities of peoples- those whose communities were peaceful and had no incident of violence and those who had experienced violence. Over 50 participants were in attendance with each lending their voice to the object of the town hall meeting. The town hall meeting was supported by the START Fund Network through ChristianAid Nigeria.
