Amid the week-long nationwide protests, youths in Abuja have declared a week of peace, beginning on Sunday, August 11.
The week of peace organised by the Abuja Residents Youth Association (ARYA) is expected to promote harmonious relationships among youths in the Federal Capital Territory.
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, August 7, the president of ARYA, Akoshile Mukhtar, said distanced the association from the ongoing nationwide protest and the activities of the protesters.
Mukhtar said, that while the association will continue its efforts to promote peace in the FCT, youths must understand they must come together, reflect on their shared goals, and strengthen their resolve to maintain peace in the city.
According to him, the association would hold various activities during the week, including a peace walk, peace talk, prayer sessions, and other events aimed at fostering harmony and understanding among the youths.
He said, “The Week of Peace will serve as a powerful reminder of our commitment to a peaceful and prosperous Abuja.
“By participating in these events, we can show our solidarity and dedication to building a city that thrives on unity and cooperation.
“We will use the week to engage in meaningful dialogue, to pray for our city’s continued growth, and to walk together in a demonstration of our shared commitment to peace.”
