Prince Charles of England will be visiting Nigeria to address the issue between farmers and herdsmen which has led to loss of lives. British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright made this known as he stated that a solution to the conflict will be beneficial to both Nigeria and Britain.
“People do want to come together and if we can provide that kind of environment then hopefully, we can come up with some ideas and solutions to resolving some of these conflicts.
“Some of the issues like the farmers/herders crisis are deep-rooted and are about the economy, land resource, climate change and cultural issues.
“The Prince of Wales will be looking at the causes, talking to people who are working in this area and together, seeing if we can find solutions and move on.” He said.
Arkwright said that tackling the root causes of conflicts would lead to a peaceful and more prosperous Nigeria which will be of benefit to the relations between Nigeria and Britain as members of the commonwealth.
He also said other events lined up on the agenda would focus on culture, music, fashion, among others.
“Prince Charles will be talking about rural livelihoods, agriculture, the environment, some of the passions that he has which is so relevant to Nigeria today and to young people and the importance of getting young people into jobs.” He added,
