The AOCPIN inaugurated its National Peace and Harmony Council (NPHC) on Thursday, May 23, 2024. This landmark event brought together a diverse group of esteemed individuals who are recognized for their expertise and commitment to fostering peace and harmony across Nigeria.

The National Peace and Harmony Council is composed of prominent men and women, including experts from various fields such as conflict resolution, peacebuilding, governance, and community development. These individuals have been carefully selected for their deep understanding of Nigeria’s socio-cultural and political landscape, as well as their proven track record in addressing complex issues and promoting social cohesion.

The primary reason for establishing the NPHC is to address the multifaceted security challenges and persistent conflicts that Nigeria faces. The Council aims to create a platform for inclusive dialogue and collaborative problem-solving, leveraging the collective wisdom and experience of its members. By fostering a culture of peace, the NPHC seeks to mitigate conflicts, promote understanding among diverse groups, and support sustainable development initiatives.

During our recent advocacy visit to the Arewa Research and Development Project, we had the opportunity to engage in deep and meaningful dialogue with experts and stakeholders committed to addressing Nigeria’s pressing challenges. The focus of our discussions was on identifying and implementing collaborative solutions that can effectively tackle the complex and multifaceted issues the country faces.

This visit underscored the importance of partnerships and collective action. We explored various avenues for cooperation, from enhancing local economic opportunities and educational programs to improving healthcare access and fostering community engagement.

Together, we are committed to leveraging our combined expertise and resources to develop and implement strategies that will lead to sustainable improvements across Nigeria. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every Nigerian can live in a more prosperous and secure environment, with access to essential services and opportunities for growth. This visit marks a significant step in our ongoing journey towards achieving this vision, reinforcing our dedication to making a positive impact on the nation’s development landscape.
