Senator Anyanwu, Others Top Lists for 10th Peace Achievers’ Awards

To mark its 10th anniversary on October 16 in Abuja, the Peace Achievers International Honours 2021 is set to award Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyawu, who represented Imo East in the 8th Assembly, among others.

Other notable awardees are: Prince Emmanuel Obehi Odigie, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, Senator Uba Sani, Chief Ofana Paul Santus, Mr Victor Ita Okon, amongst others.

According to the organisers, the Peace Achievers International Honours is marking 10 years of championing peace and humanitarian works in Nigeria, Africa and the global business communities.

As noted in a statement released by the organising committee on Tuesday, the Founder and President of Peace Ambassador Agency Worldwide, Kingsley Amafibe, encouraged government institutions and prospective development organisations to join the campaign for peace by participating in the forthcoming event.

This, according to him, would ensure the undeterred promotion of peace across the globe, which cannot be achieved by the organisation alone.

This year’s award is in partnership with the University of Benin Cotonou, Chartered Institute of Management and Leadership USA, and American Heritage University Southern California.

According to Amafibe, the ceremony will focus on improving campaigns on peace education, community development, and empowerment of young people through talent development.

However, the president called on the public to get involved in the distinguished honour of personalities and institutions that have contributed earnestly to the development and sustainability of peace across nations of the world.

Some of the previous recipients of Peace Achievers International Honours include Italian Ambassador to Nigeria, Amb. Fulvio Rustico; South African High Commission to Nigeria, Amb. Lulu Louis Mnguni; former Nigeria Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Buratai; and the former Nigeria Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babagida.
