Zoom Meeting ID: 818-2309-2725 Passcode: PEACENIG.
Dr. Alex Obiogbolu will be speaking on Sustainable Peace Through Youth Economic Empowerment and sharing the Anambra Story.
This series follows the peace dialogue with corporate Nigeria which held in Lagos on 17 November 2022. A second program, the international peace dialogue, held on 13 December 2022, at the Venerable Chapel of The Cathedral of Antwerp, Belgium.
Nigeria is currently at a crossroad, and at risk of becoming a failed State, due to decades of weakening leadership, poor governance and endemic corruption that have worsened the standard of living of Nigerians.
These fragile fault lines borne from ethno-religious conflicts have escalated and further heated up by the events of the recent elections.
These nationwide agitations seem to be threatening progress towards building national cohesion and peace, maintaining political stability, and sustaining economic development.
RNI has initiated these virtual peace dialogues to explore ways to address these conflicts, set the country on a path to restoring national peace and help attain our vision for a new Nigeria, united, equitable, just, and inclusive.
The new virtual town hall series aims to further the goal of Rebuild Nigeria Initiative which is, “to assemble all willing players, build a coalition of Non-State Actors to interrogate different aspects of securing and sustaining lasting peace from a global perspective.
Our ambition is to reach a possible consensus on a common collaborative approach based on international best practices in conflict resolution adapted for the Nigerian environment.
