IN its bid to ensure that peace reigns supreme among nations and the realisation of sustainable development globally, the United Nations, in collaboration with Polac Nigeria Ltd, has appointed some notable Nigerians as its peace ambassadors.
Speaking at the event on Friday in Abuja, the Director General of Polac Nigeria Ltd, Prof. Halo Eton, said the recipients were appointed on merit, as they were recommended based on their integrity and outstanding antecedents in the society.
He thanked the UN for the honour and stressed that peace in every home would culminate into peace in the society.
The event was one of the activities lined up by the United Nations to celebrate the 2019 Human Rights Day.
Notable among the recipients were the vice chairman, SDIL Nigeria Ltd, Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, chairman, Pinnacle Communications Ltd, Sir Lucky Omoluwa, DG Institute of Peace and Conflict, Imo State, Mr Peter Ohagwa, amongst others.
Responding on behalf of other recipients, Omoluwa, who had been honoured with so many local and international awards, thanked the organisers and promised to project and preach peace among Nigerians, saying Nigerians are better off living together in peace than living apart.
