The Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Nomadic Education (NCENE), Professor Bashir Haruna Usman, has said the commission will encourage communities around nomadic schools to get involved in running their schoosl as well as strive to end conflicts between various groups of farmers and herders. 
Speaking at a Professional Capacity Development workshop for Members of the School Based Management Committees (SBMCs) and other officials of the commission in Kaduna, he said farmers and nomads were brothers, and there was no need for the clashes that are being experienced between them in some parts of the country, adding that only dialogue can address their differences.
He said, “Dialogue can help make a nomadic school more efficient, friendlier and more relevant to what parents, children and the whole community need from education.”
