The meeting held at the Agwatyap palace Atak njei, Zango Kataf was also intended to receive reports from various subcommittees set up by the main committee especially on efforts towards ensuring enduring peace in the area.
In his opening remark, the Chairman of the committee, Mr John Bala Gora told members that the hostilities must be addressed as they cannot be allowed to continue.
He observed with dismay that it has become a routine development that after the committee holds a meeting, a sad event will follow immediately.
He, however, said that the ugly trend will not in any way discourage the committee from pursuing the noble course of restoring lasting peace to the chiefdom.
Mr Gora called on all members to set aside their differences and unite in the course of protecting people of the Chiefdom as it was the essence of establishing the Committee.
Also, a representative of NERI, Alhaji Ibrahim Hassan commended the committee for being alive to its responsibilities.
Alhaji Hassan told members not to be discouraged by what he described as temporary setbacks they could encounter in the course of their assignment.
Similarly, the Chief Executive Officer, Fantswam Foundation, Kafanchan, Kazanka Comfort said the NGO was considering the possibility of partnering the committee particularly in the area of training.
