OBASANJO ADVOCATES FOR DIALOGUE IN RESOLVING CONFLICTS IN AFRICA.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday charged African youth to employ dialogue, rather than resorting to conflicts and violence in resolving their differences, which will eventually lead to the destruction of lives and property.
He said, there must be conscious efforts to build and inculcate a culture of peace and security in the youth to spur them to be at the vanguard of promoting peace in the continent.
Obasanjo disclosed this at a youth leadership symposium with the theme, “Opportunities for Peace: Roles of the Youths in Conflict Prevention in Africa”, held at Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.
The programme was put together by the Centre for Human Security and Dialogue in collaboration with the Institute for African Culture and International Understanding, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, as part of activities lined up for the 87th birthday of the former President.
