The MoU reinforces the core message of giving peace a chance through mediation, responsible citizenry, and compassion.

Speaking at the event yesterday in Abuja, the first lady of the Republic of Gambia and president of AFLPM, Faoumatta Bah Barrow, who was represented by the head of communications and visibility at AFLPM-MIPREDA, Jerrilyn Monik Mulbah, said that women and youths play a prominent role in contributing to mediation and peacebuilding.

She emphasised that societies face disruption, suffering, and stagnation without peace. Therefore, the quest for sustainable peace must be a priority for all.

She noted that prominent figures, political leaders, religious heads, or cultural icons are pivotal in shaping public perception and policy regarding peace.

She stressed that their influence drives national and international reconciliation and harmony agendas. Through their platforms, they can advocate for justice and dialogue and eliminate divisive rhetoric.

“Similarly, stakeholders such as governments, NGOs, and international and local organisations contribute significantly by implementing policies and programs that promote peace,” she said.

On his part, the president of MTI-Nigeria, Ambassador ‘Segun Ogunyanwo, said the MoU aims to promote peace and harmonious coexistence in Africa through the professional training and certification of women leaders in various African communities.

Also, the first lady of the Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe and vice president of AFLPM, Fatima Vila Nova, reiterated that their mission is noble and urgent, addressing the pressing need for reconciliation and collaboration in their increasingly interconnected world.

“We are privileged to be joined by leaders, advocates, and visionaries who have dedicated their lives to fostering peace and resolving conflicts. Their insights and experiences will undoubtedly inspire us and guide us as we work together toward our shared objectives,” she added.

The Enugu State commissioner at the Federal Character Commission, Ginika Tor Florence, stated the importance of addressing the root causes of conflict and political interference to achieve sustainable peace in Nigeria and other African countries.

Florence highlighted that while the initiative by AFLPM is commendable, lasting peace can only be achieved by tackling the fundamental issues causing unrest.

She pointed out that political interference within institutions and agencies significantly contributes to instability.

She added that recently, President Tinubu signed a bill establishing the Southeast Development Commission to alleviate poverty and promote development, demonstrating a commitment to addressing these root causes.

She stressed that it is the responsibility of various institutions and agencies, which are granted authority by the president, to address the needs of the common people.

Florence urged citizens to hold these institutions accountable, noting the importance of dialogue over protests. “If jobs are given to common people rather than racketeers, issues that lead to unrest would be minimised,” she stated.
