Six months ago (February 2011) justice sector reform activists the world over were teeth to teeth on ways to review justice sector reform agenda and support collaborative effort toward sustainable partnerships in favour of best options for the reform stakeholders. You may wish to review the opinions of experts, practitioners, and stakeholders that have continued to be uploaded. I view myself simply as an activist/stakeholder and my opinions on matters touching on the VALUE OF RESTORATIVE…

Hi Nathaniel, thanks for your reply. Our schedule has gone a bit crazy but maybe we could meet on Wednesday morning? My local number in Nigeria is 08100391926. We'd want to talk about the root causes of conflict in the North, the middle belt and the Delta (or whichever of those you are comfortable talking about), as well as your experience and assessment of peacebuilding initiatives. Let me know if that's possible.

Hi Nathaniel, I'm in Nigeria doing some research on the role of religion and ethnicity in conflicts. I'd love to meet and hear more about your work- where are you based? I'd also love recommendations on other organisations doing peacebuilding work-- in Lagos or Abuja. Thanks a million.
