Nigeria must ramp up culture education for sustained peace, says NUC's Chris Maiyaki

Chris Maiyaki, the acting executive secretary of the NUC, says Nigeria must ramp up cultural education for sustained peace.

Chris Maiyaki, the acting executive secretary of the National Universities Commission , says Nigeria must ramp up cultural education for sustained peace.The competition was organised by the Idimuwem Peace and Governance Initiative in collaboration with the Black Montessori Education Fund and the Belgium Embassy.

At the event, Pieter Leenknegt, the ambassador of Belgium to Nigeria, said peace is not just the absence of fighting, but a culture of peace. Akpabio noted that Nigeria has so much potential and one thing it needs to build capacity for is peace. “One way of doing so is to identify mediums and ways that children and youth enjoy and can understand and engage with. Because if I take them to a place and start doing capacity building they would tune off after some time.“For children, one of the mediums that has been identified is arts. A child may not be able to speak but he can identify, he can make drawings.”
