IPCR Promotes Peace Ahead of Nigeria's 2027 Elections
The Institute of Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR), an agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, organized an event in Abuja to promote peace among Nigerian citizens in preparation for the 2027 general elections. The event, themed “Invest in Peace for Everyone Everywhere Every Day,” aimed to discourage violent behavior in politics and combat the mentality of “grab power at all costs.” Dr Joseph Ochogwu, the Director General of IPCR, led discussions during the 2026 International Day of Peace Commemoration lecture on September 21.
He stressed that peace is a continuous investment and not merely a seasonal response. The event aligned with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, which focuses on economic reform, inclusion, and strengthening democratic governance.
The IPCR has intensified efforts in election-related conflict prevention, recognizing the urgency of investing in peace for democratic stability as Nigeria approaches the elections.
