As part of efforts by the Universal Peace Federation and the
Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace and the

joint initiative for peace on campus in Nigeria.

The initiative involves the following:

Nigeria who made a commitment to promoting the culture of peace on
campus, or who pledge to support the campaign for peace on campus

representatives from all sectors of the campus community

peace education programs and services can be coordinated on campus.
Other activities of the Campus Peace Centers shall include convening
of Campus Peace Sports Festivals (CPSF), Campus Community Service
for Peace (CCSfP) as well as peace pilgrimages to places of peaceful
interest.

As a beginning, we are calling for nomination of members of the
campus community to be appointed as Campus Ambassadors for Peace.
Such campus diplomats shall be entitled to the recently approved
special vehicle number plates for Peace Ambassadors by the Federal
Government of Nigeria as well as a special life assurance scheme by
the UBA Insurance and the International ID card for Ambassadors for
Peace.

You may send your nominations indicating names, institution and
brief profile to raphael@.... The Campus
Ambassadors for Peace award shall be presented during the formal
launch of the Campus Peace Initiative being planned to take place at
the National Universities Commission auditorium or the University of
Abuja.

As we look forward to receiving your nominations, please remember
that building a culture of peace on campus is a task we must not
fail to fulfill now. Many thanks for your support to this effort.
