He made the statement when he received at the Governor’s Lodge Asokoro, Abuja, Nigerian music legend and philanthropist, Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, alongside his wife, Hon. Natasha Irobosa Osawaru Idibia, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly; who shared the vision of their peacebuilding initiative.

During the meeting, 2Baba as known as Tuface Idibia, who also serves as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, unveiled plans to launch a campaign titled Music Against Violence under the banner of the United North-Central for Peace Promotion (UNCPP).

The project, he explained, is designed to foster peace, dialogue, and tolerance in communities, with Nasarawa State chosen as the host of its maiden edition.

The peace initiative will bring together youths from the six North Central States and the Federal Capital Territory through music concerts, public awareness campaigns, and humanitarian outreach.
