<p>We are deeply concerned by the inter-communal violence in Nigeria and the devastating
impact that this has had on affected communities, including heavy loss of life. We
continue to call for a solution that meets the needs of all the communities affected.
DFID is designing a programme to address natural resource conflicts between farmers
and herders, which may include support to non-governmental organisations. We value
the important role NGOs play in supporting affected communities in Nigeria, and we
will continue to work alongside them where possible.</p><p>Staff from the British
High Commission in Abuja are actively engaged on the ground. The British High Commissioner
to Nigeria, along with staff, visited Plateau State in December 2019 to further discuss
the situation with the Governor, as well as Christian and Muslim faith leaders. They
also met NGOs working on reconciliation to discuss the situation and the efforts they
are taking to address it.</p>
