National Peace Council ‘struggling’ with 300 unresolved conflict cases, amid staffing shortages

December 1, 2025 1

The National Peace Council (NPC) has a backlog of unresolved conflict cases across the country, largely due to the lack of adequate staff to handle the cases.

As of now, there are over 300 disputes still pending, the Council’s Chairman, Most Rev. Emmanuel Fianu, has revealed.

Speaking in a television interview with TV3 on Sunday [Nov 30], Rev. Fianu said the council’s mediation efforts have been hampered by chronic underfunding, inadequate staffing, and insufficient infrastructure.
