An international peace-focused organization called Peace Ambassador Agency Worldwide has named former President Goodluck Jonathan, former Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and Rwandan President Paul Kagame as peace icons in Africa.
Also included in the list are Kenyan President William Ruto, President of the African Development Bank Akinwumi Adesina, Chairman of the United Bank of Africa Group Tony Elumelu, Chairman of Geregu Power PLC Femi Otedola, President of LoveWorld Incorporated Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, and the Sultan of Sokoto Mohammadu Abubakar, among others.
During a press conference in Abuja, Ambassador Kingsley Amafibe, the Project Director of the group, announced the unveiling of “100 Most Notable Peace Icons in Africa.” These individuals are being recognized for their unwavering commitment to promoting peace and harmony across the continent.
Amafibe explained that the list includes economists, financial experts, sports personalities, religious leaders, industrialists, entertainment entrepreneurs, traditional rulers, activists, thinkers, and creators who have transcended boundaries and overcome challenges to create lasting legacies.
He stated, “By sharing their stories, our intention is to amplify the impact of their efforts and foster a collective commitment to building a more peaceful and prosperous Africa.”
Furthermore, the organization has plans to provide scholarships to 20,000 underprivileged students across Africa. The group aims to leverage the contributions and support of these peace icons to achieve their goals.
The scholarship program is designed to empower the next generation of African leaders by equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to drive the growth and stability of their respective nations. The organization recognizes the youth as catalysts for transformation and is dedicated to empowering them through comprehensive training and skill enhancement initiatives.
In addition to the scholarship program, the organization is launching the “CleanAqua4All” initiative, which aims to provide clean and safe drinking water to underserved rural communities. By ensuring access to clean water, the organization seeks to improve the quality of life, enhance health and well-being, and promote progress in these communities.
