In its bid to ensure that peace continues to reign and the need for
sustainable development globally, the United Nations in
collaboration with POLAC has appointed some notable Nigerians
as its peace ambassadors. The event, which took place in Abuja,
was one of the activities lined up by the United Nations to
celebrate the 2019 Human Rights Day.
Notable among the recipients were vice-chairman, SIDIL, Alhaji
Alhassan Dantata; chairman, Pinnacle Communications Ltd, Sir
Lucky Omoluwa; director-general, Institute of Peace and Conflict,
Imo State, Mr. Peter Ohagwa, among others
Director-General of POLAC, Prof Halo Eton, said the recipients
were appointed on merit as they were recommended based on
integrity and untainted antecedents.
Much more honour, like tassel, was added to the bejeweled cap
of Sir Lucky Omoluwa who had been honoured with so many local
and international awards. He thanked the UN for the honour and
stressed that peace in every home would culminate into peace in
the society.
“I shall project peace and preach peace, and let them understand
that that we are better off living together in peace than living
apart,” Omoluwa said.
