Nigeria’s Peace Institute Partners Tech Firm to Scale Peace Education to Millions.
The partnership, formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), may significantly expand access to peacebuilding knowledge by combining IPCR’s expertise in conflict prevention, management and resolution with Tomruk iHub’s digital infrastructure, technological innovation and extensive networks.
Under the agreement, the two organisations will drive the implementation of the Mass Peace Education Programme, designed to equip citizens, particularly young people, with practical skills for preventing violence, managing disputes and fostering peaceful coexistence in their communities.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the Director-General of IPCR, Dr Joseph Ochogwu, described peace education as a vital national imperative that must be accessible to all citizens regardless of age, profession or educational background.
He stressed that sustainable peace can only be achieved when knowledge of conflict prevention and resolution is democratised and taken beyond traditional classrooms to reach every segment of society. According to him, the partnership represents an innovative approach to broadening the reach of peace education through technology and strategic collaboration. speaking, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Tomruk iHub Multiverse Limited, Mr Job Mwadkon Dachungyang, said Africa’s progress and prosperity depend largely on the capacity of its people and institutions to prevent and resolve conflicts effectively. He noted that peace and conflict resolution skills are indispensable for national development, adding that no society can achieve lasting growth in an atmosphere of persistent conflict and instability.
