The Kogi Government joined the rest of the world in marking the International Peace Day, appealing to all and sundry in the state to embrace peace and unity.
Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi, who made the appeal in Lokoja on Friday during the Peace Day Celebration, said it was necessary to embrace peace in order to achieve developmental progress.
The event was organised by ActionAid Nigeria (AAN) in collaboration with Participation Initiative for Behavioural Change in Development (PIBCID).
Bello, who was represented by Chief Edward Onoja, his Chief of Staff, said the state had gone a long way as it was recently ranked the second peaceful state from a position of 36.
According to him, only through unity you can have peace and once there is peace, there will be progress and inside progress is where you see infrastructural projects.
