Idibia said that almost a quarter of the world lived
in areas affected by military or civil conflicts. He,
however, noted that there were young people who
were busy building bridges across communities.
“These young people are mostly unnoticed but
you will find them working hard in various places,
educating people and helping to manage conflicts
and promoting peace.
“They have become community leaders in peace
building, reconciliation and post -conflict
reconstruction, thereby establishing themselves as
the next generation of leaders.
“As we march towards Nigeria’s centenary
celebrations in 2014, more than anything else, we
choose to celebrate these young unsung heroes,
who are active in their communities, promoting
peace.
“We want to celebrate them through the ‘2face
Peace Awards’’, ‘’ Idibia told NAN.
