Speaking, the ICRC Communication Coordinator, Abuja Delegation, Mr. Robin Waudo, said the training was aimed at equipping Journalists with the necessary knowledge of approaching humanitarian reporting.

On his part, a lecturer with Mass Communication Department, Bayero University Kano, Dr. Bala Muhammad, who was a facilitator at the training, said Journalists are a very important pillar that would help in addressing the increasing insecurity challenges in the country.

Dr. Bala Muhammad, appealed to the Journalists to understand the background and nature of every conflict before reporting it to the larger society.

Muhammad suggested for the government to ensure proper utilization of forests as they are the hideouts for bandits and other insurgents groups, ban the importation of motorcycles and hard drugs as the immediate measures to tackle security challenges in the country.

The lecturer, urged the government to do the needful towards implementing suggestions, which were research products, to help tackle security challenges in the country.
