Governors of the five South East states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo are some of the guests expected in Umuahia on Friday, December 29 at the unveiling of the ‘Peace in South East Project’.
Also expected at the event are traditional rulers, opinion leaders, captains of industry as well as eminent personalities drawn from across party divides.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Friday, the Chairman of the Media and Communication Committee of the project, Mary Ikoku said the project coincides with the homecoming reception for the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.
According to Ikoku, both events are slated to appreciate Kalu’s commitment to public service and outstanding contributions to the people of the South East and the nation.
The peace initiative, she stressed, believes in the use of a non-kinetic strategy as against the prevailing option of applying total military force to address security challenges in the region.
Ikoku called on the Nigerian military to adjust its current strategy by engaging the people more to build mutual trust and cooperation.
