| dc.description.abstract | Restoration of peace after a prolonged conflict seems arduous, if not impossible, in conflict-riddled states in Africa. Often, it appears resolved only to reoccur and at times escalate to greater dimension. Thus, peace tends to be elusive as insecurities and crises pervade the region. More, it appears solutions workable in other situations and regions of the world are not applicable in Africa and conversely suggesting that other innovative approaches should be considered and tried. This paper proposes a complementary strategy to address intractable problems of insecurity and conflict in the region. It is a theoretical paper which reflects a common parlance that ‘prevention is better than cure’. The paper has five sections. First, it revisits and discusses conflicts in the region which are in varying dimensions, from boundary disputes, cattle rustlings, insurgencies, religious bigotries, xenophobic attacks to terrorisms. These incidences have untold effect on national and regional development. Second, the paper highlights warning signs which are indicators of national or regional vulnerability to conflict eruption and bases for the content, delivery mode and evaluation of the proposed adult education integrated strategy-ICPAES. Third, a frame of reference that shows links among the components of the strategy is presented and described. Fourth, the paper highlights roles of universities in the implementation of the strategy. Finally, the conclusion is presented. | en_US |
