A peacebuilding think tank, Foundation for Peace Professionals also known as PeacePro has announced the completion of its maiden Africa Peace Insight report, which is set to be presented next week.

PeacePro also said that the public presentation of the report is to be done on 13th October, 2023 on the International Day of Risk and Disaster Reduction via Twitter public space and eminent peace personalities within and outside Africa are expected to join the conversation.

In a statement by the Executive Director, Mr Abdulrazaq Hamzat, PeacePro said that the Africa Peace Insight report was done in partnership with the Institute of Economics and Peace (IEP), which is the producer of the Global Peace Index and the presentation will be done on twitter space.

Africa Peace Insight (API) report gave the continental outlook of peace in Africa, presented a regional ranking of peacefulness across the subregion, and gave a spotlight analysis of the ongoing crisis.

API also set a new agenda for the continental body, the African Union to end neo-colonialism and call for an end to the balkanization of Africa through the elimination of Middle East and North Africa (MENA ) coinage in many global reports.

Hamzat explained that Africa Peace Insight is to expand the conversation around the Global Peace Index at the continental level, so as to put peacebuilding as the cornerstone of development in the continent.

He further concluded that the report will put peacebuilding at the center of policy and security decisions, which automatically reduces the tendency for elevating crisis management.

The Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC), Ms. Rinsola Abiola, has reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to raising young Nigerians who are productive, innovative, and imbued with patriotism, service, and integrity.

She gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja in her goodwill message at the ongoing two-day Retreat on Presidential Priorities and Deliverables — 2025 Mid-Term Review, where she also commended the Ministry of Youth Development, led by Hon. Ayodele Olawande, for championing youth-focused initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to Abiola, the retreat provides a unique opportunity to review and realign efforts to ensure that government policies and programmes translate into measurable impact in the lives of Nigerian youths.

“This retreat is both timely and strategic. It provides a platform to collectively review, align, and sharpen our focus on the priorities of Mr. President. More importantly, it allows us to deepen collaboration within the youth development sector to ensure that government policies deliver real change to our young people,” she said.

Highlighting the Centre’s achievements, Abiola disclosed that over 6,000 youths have been trained in value orientation and re-orientation in the just-concluded half-year period. She emphasized that the CLTC, with its long history of building citizenship values, leadership capacity, discipline, and volunteerism, remains steadfast in supporting the Ministry’s mandate and national priorities.

“We see ourselves as partners in this great task of nation-building. Our goal is to raise young Nigerians who are not only productive and innovative but also committed to the spirit of service, patriotism, and integrity,” she added.

Abiola urged stakeholders and participants at the retreat to bring forward actionable strategies that would strengthen coordination, eliminate bottlenecks, and accelerate delivery on presidential mandates.

She concluded by reaffirming CLTC’s readiness to collaborate with the Ministry and other agencies to advance youth development across Nigeria.
