We are all aware that the issue of insecurity and violent criminal and terrorist activities including Boko Haram have caused incalculable suffering, pain, and hopelessness in quite some parts of the country, especially in some Northern parts of the country including Borno State. As other organizations including the governments have been deeply worried, UPF has been quite concerned also and has been making an effort to contribute to alleviating the suffering of the citizens. The UPF Ambassadors for Peace have been working with other concerned bodies to support the State Government in its peace advocacy.

On March 1, the Universal Peace Federation and Peace Ambassadors Center for Humanitarian Aid and Empowerment in partnership with the Borno State Government and the British Council worked together and organized, “Special Youth Training For Reintegration And Sustainable Peace In Borno State: “Together We Shall Build Borno Back Better,” with 100 individuals (Youth Activists) awarded a certificate as Peace Advocates in Borno State. The certificates were awarded by the – Universal Peace Federation (UPF) and the Peace Ambassadors Center for Humanitarian Aid (PACHI). The awardees were selected because they exemplify the UPF principle of living for the sake of others and dedicate themselves to practices that promote peace and universal moral values.
