Work With UN For World Peace, IAWPA Tasks Akwa Ibom Cleric

The International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA) has expressed concern over widespread conflicts threatening global peace and security and stressed the need for a holistic action plan to stem the scourge on humanity.

Speaking during the appointment of Apostle Elijah Jack, the Lead Pastor of His Divine Redeemed World Ministries (HDRWM), as the Eminent Peace Ambassador (EPA) and national men leader in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, the IAWPA spokesman, Amb. Emmanuel Nkweke, urged the awardee to work hard with the United Nations (UN) and other agencies for national and global peace.

Nkweke, who acknowledged Apostle Jack’s unwavering commitment to promoting peace, sustainable development, and humanitarian services in the state and beyond, said his appointment became necessary based on his commitment to peace and human development.

He explained that as an Eminent Peace Ambassador, Apostle Jack would play a crucial role in advancing the IAWPA’s mission of fostering global peace, tolerance, understanding, and would as well be responsible for organising the International Day of Living Together in Akwa Ibom state on May 16, 2025, as the National Men Leader.

He said: “Apostle Jack, will collaborate with IAWPA to promote peace education, peace workshops, and initiatives supporting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” he stressed.

According to Nkweke, Apostle Jack’s appointment as National Men Leader was a reflection of his exceptional and exemplary leadership skills and ability to mobilise people towards a common goal.

“He will coordinate IAWPA’s activities for the men’s forum, promote peace and sustainable development, and support vulnerable communities,” he charged.

Responding, Apostle Jack said: “Let me say that I am humbled to be noted from among the millions of charitable personalities and peace advocates in the state,” and appreciated IAWPA for the double honour of being appointed as an Eminent Peace Ambassador and National Men Leader, vowing to live up to the expectations of the offices.
