Speaking at the signing ceremony recently, the National Coordinator, Peace and Environmental Justice (CEPEJ), Mulade Sheriff said, “I am delighted to be here today to sign an agreement to formalize and deepen the partnership between CEPEJ and the Institute for peace and conflict resolution (IPCR).
“This agreement is indeed a significant milestone in our ongoing collaboration.”
Sheriff on behalf of CEPEJ donated a building structure within its premises at Ugolo in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State for the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) to operate as its South-South Zonal office free of charge to cover the whole of the Niger Delta.
He explained that a peaceful organisation like ours is very important now than ever, we do our best to bring communities together while trying to meet other Sustainable Development Goals.
On his part, Director General (IPCR), Prof. Bakut Tswah Bakut, said that, the signing of the MoU will no doubt bring a new dawn in Niger Delta, Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
He said CEPEJ has overtime proven itself to be worthy of the Federal Government partnership.
