Abstract
After some violent and protracted ethno‐religious conflicts, Christians and Muslims in Kaduna State signed a peace agreement known as the Kaduna Peace Declaration in 2002. This agreement, which was facilitated by nongovernmental organizations and endorsed by the government, emphasized the need for peaceful coexistence and cooperation between Christians and Muslims. Although the peace agreement is an essential instrument for restoring peace where there have been incessant conflicts, the peace agreement in itself is not sufficient to support sustainable peace. There is therefore a need to reinforce the peace process with what the philosopher Martin Buber called “genuine dialogue.” This article interprets what genuine dialogue is in the context of Kaduna State, where ethno‐religious conflicts have deep political roots. Furthermore, the article asserts that genuine dialogue must be inclusive, mutual, and transparent in order to be effective.
