Plans are underway for the highly anticipated 2025 edition of the Peace Achievers International Conference and Awards, scheduled for November 8, 2025, at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja. The event, organized by the Davdan Peace and Advocacy Foundation and Peace Ambassador Agency, marks the 15th edition of the annual celebration of peace and social development. This year’s theme, “Peace Building Through Sectoral Partnerships: Public and Private Sector Collaboration”, reflects the ongoing importance of fostering unity and cooperation between both sectors to drive peace-building efforts. The event will also feature the conferment of the Honorary Doctorate Degree from the American Management University, California, USA, and the coveted Peace Icon Award. The Peace Icon Award categories include Brand Company of the Year, Most Influential Personality of the Year, Peace Advocate of the Year, and several other prestigious accolades. In addition, Peace Builders, Emerging Leaders, Community Developers, and Humanitarians will be recognized for their significant contributions to societal change. Ambassador Kingsley Amafibe, Project Director of the Davdan Peace and Advocacy Foundation/Peace Ambassador Agency, addressed journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, emphasizing that the 2025 edition is not only a celebration of peace but also a reflection on the past 15 years of promoting national unity and fostering positive change in Nigeria. “This event offers us the opportunity to honor those who have made lasting impacts in Nigeria, irrespective of their ethnic or religious affiliations. We are committed to ensuring that the recipients have made tangible contributions to peace and development in the country,” said Ambassador Amafibe. He further highlighted that the Peace Achievers Awards operate as a non-profit initiative, with a focus on channeling support received from partners into projects that benefit the less privileged. These include initiatives such as the Peace Education Campaign, Health Outreach Schemes, Back to School Campaign, and various capacity enhancement programs designed to aid underserved communities and complement government efforts at all levels. The event will also feature music, comedy, fashion exhibitions, and other exciting attractions, making it an occasion for celebration and reflection. Nominations for the 2025 Peace Achievers International Awards are now open.
