The All Nigeria Rotary Peace Summit 2026 is scheduled for November 7, 2026, at the Victoria Garden Event Centre in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos. Organized by Past District Governor Kazeem Mustapha, the summit aims to foster sustainable peace in Nigeria.

Rotary International President Yinka Babalola emphasized the need for peace to be actively constructed within communities and institutions. The summit's theme is “Good Governance, Justice and Equity: Foundations for Sustainable Peace,” and it will facilitate discussions among Rotarians, leaders, peace advocates, and stakeholders on how to create conditions conducive to peace.

Participants will explore the connections between governance, justice, equity, economic opportunity, and community development.
