The Oyo State chapter of the International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA) has expressed its readiness to partner with the Department of State Services (DSS) for sustainable peace in the pacesetter state.
This is just as the group reiterated its commitment to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially the attainment of global peace.
The Oyo State Director of IAWPA, Ambassador Muhammadul-awal Musa Alongbija, stated this during a courtesy visit to the state director of the DSS, Mr. John Margima, at Alalubosa, Ibadan, on Monday.
Expressing the willingness of IAWPA to partner with the DSS for continued peace in Oyo State and Nigeria, Dr. Alongbija hinted that the association has put in place arrangements to decorate Mr. Margima as an Ambassador of Peace.
Responding, the DSS boss, who accepted the honour to be decorated as an Ambassador of Peace, underscored the importance of synergy between IAWPA and his agency, with a promise to ensure open door policy in relations with the association.
The highlight of the courtesy visit was the award presentation to the association and the signing of the register of honour by the state director, accompanied by other state executive members, including the IAWPA Assistant Director, Mrs. Kikelomo Lawal, and Ambassadors of Peace.
