Nkata Ndi Inyom Igbo (NNII), will hold its 3rd Annual Conference between October 24 and 25, 2023 in Enugu State. The theme of the conference is, ‘Women: A Unifying Force In Peace Building.’

A statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Nnedinso Ogaziechi, said the conference is an opportunity for the group which is a non-partisan, non-governmental organization made up of Igbo women by ancestry or marriage to intervene as Nigerian women who are worried over the lack of peace, security and unity not just in the region but in the whole country.

She said: “Nkata in Igbo language means conversation and it is a veritable tool for conflict resolution and is as old as humanity only that humans often underrate the value of conversations and dialogues. The motto of the organization is, Partnering for Development. They understand that there can be no development without security.

“The group having watched the men try without success to address comprehensively the issues of insecurity in the country decided to intervene through this conference by inviting development specialists and other eminent Nigerians to point a torch to how women have in history and presently continue to broker peace in families, communities and even globally. Development cannot happen if there is insecurity in any part of the nation. In global terms, women have won the Nobel Peace prize a record 15 times! That is significant!
