Amb. Per Stafsen, World Peace President, from Denmark, has described Nigeria as a great asset to the promotion of peace in the world.
He said this in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja while speaking on the 64th anniversary of Nigeria’s membership of the United Nations (UN).
Stafsen while noting that Nigeria became a member of the UN after attaining independence in 1960, applauded her contributions to peace and stability throughout Africa and the world generally.
He urged the country to continue in its role of peace initiatives amongst member states of the African Union, the Economic community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the UN.
Also speaking, Prof. Chidi Ehiriado, International Director, Association of World Peace Advocates said Nigeria among the comity of nations was rooting and sacrificing for global peace.
This, he said, was in the face of barrages of attacks and pockets of insurrections ravaging the nation.
He noted that Nigeria had achieved a lot through the deployment of men, available resources, the academia, and several other means.
He added that this was especially with regards to promoting peace in African religion.
He expressed optimism that Nigeria would rise above her current economy challenges.
“Africa occupies a pride of place in the world. Looking at Nigeria since it joined the UN in 1960.
“I couldn’t celebrate Nigeria’s independence owing to the present situation affecting almost everybody, including me.
“There are ugly trends in Nigeria, but let’s celebrate the good ones.
Nigeria remains the big brother to African nations.
“We have never abandoned any African country. We have assisted them economically with all our resources,” the World Peace President, from Denmark said. ( https://newsatlarge.ng)
