MUCABI to Launch “Ali Bukar Dalori Youth in Politics” Programme in Jos.

The Mulapnen Capacity Building Initiative (MUCABI), a community-based non-profit organisation with focused on peacebuilding, justice, security, and leadership development, has announced plans to launch the “Ali Bukar Dalori Youth in Politics” Programme in Jos.

The programme, scheduled for June 12, 2026, is aimed at mentoring and equipping young Nigerians with leadership values, civic knowledge, and practical political skills needed for responsible participation in governance and public service.

According to the organisation, the initiative seeks to bridge the gap between young people and Nigeria’s political system by creating opportunities for civic education, ethical leadership training, advocacy, policy engagement, and mentorship.

MUCABI said the programme would establish a mentorship network linking young political aspirants and emerging leaders with experienced public servants, political actors, and community leaders within and outside Plateau State.

The organisation explained that part of the initiative would focus on promoting peaceful political participation and reducing electoral violence among youths through orientation on conflict prevention, tolerance, dialogue, and democratic values.

MUCABI noted that many young people are often vulnerable to political manipulation and violence during elections due to unemployment, poor orientation, and limited access to constructive political engagement.

“The programme is aimed at changing the narrative by encouraging issue-based politics, dialogue, tolerance, and democratic values among young Nigerians,” the organisation stated. “We believe young people must become ambassadors of peace during elections rather than instruments of violence.”

The group further described the initiative as a long-term leadership platform intended to inspire generations of youths toward peaceful, service-driven, and issue-based politics.

According to MUCABI, the programme is also designed to preserve and promote the leadership values associated with Alhaji Ali Bukar Dalori, which include integrity, accountability, discipline, and public service.

As part of preparations for the launch, the organisation revealed that it has authored a leadership book documenting Dalori’s life, political journey, and contributions to youth development and public service. The book is expected to be unveiled during the launch ceremony and used as a training resource for participants.

Speaking on the initiative, the Executive Director of MUCABI, Nicodemus Samson Beska, said the programme would encourage youths to see politics as a platform for nation-building and peace rather than conflict.

“We want young Nigerians to see politics not as a battleground, but as a platform for service, peacebuilding, and nation-building,” Beska said.

MUCABI disclosed that it has formally written to Ali Bukar Dalori seeking approval to use his name and legacy for the programme, while also requesting his presence or goodwill message during the launch event.

The official unveiling of the programme is expected to coincide with Nigeria’s Democracy Day celebration in Jos, Plateau State, while applications for the first batch of participants are expected to commence shortly after the launch.
