Babalola, who noted that the various steps and actions of the president since the inception of his administration had been pointers to the preparedness and willingness of the leadership to salvage the nation from the various challenges bedeviling it, said the peace experts would help the government with sincere and unbiased tactics rather than political sycophancy.

Babalola noted that they would also, among other responsibilities, work to ensure government’s programmes and policies are well tailored towards the realisation of actual peace in the country.

“It  is obvious that President Bola Tinubu is serious and sincere about retracing the country’s path to greatness as the pride of the black race; this is an effort that starts with good governance and sincerity of purpose but more importantly, we must begin to rebuild the pillars of peace upon which other heavy weights would rest.

“Peace is very important to nation building and the WPO would be ready to offer that service to Nigeria by giving our people to serve the government towards ensuring peace building and sustainability from amidst the locales , citizens and denizens of this country,” he said.
