Plans are in top gear for the 2025 edition of the Peace Achievers International Conference and Awards, an annual event organised by the Davdan Peace and Advocacy Foundation in collaboration with the Peace Ambassador Agency.
Now in its 15th year, the awards ceremony will take place on November 8, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, under the theme “Peace Building Through Sectoral Partnerships: Public and Private Sector Collaboration.”
This year’s edition will feature the conferment of Honorary Doctorate Degrees from the American Management University, California, USA, as well as the prestigious Peace Icon Award.
Categories for the Peace Icon Award include Brand Company of the Year, Most Influential Personality of the Year, Peace Advocate of the Year, alongside recognition for Peace Builders, Emerging Leaders, Community Developers, and Humanitarians.
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja, Kingsley Amafibe, Project Director of the Davdan Peace and Advocacy Foundation/Peace Ambassador Agency, said the 15th edition holds special significance as it coincides with the anniversary of the Peace Achievers International Conference and Awards.
“This event is an opportunity to celebrate a decade and a half of promoting peace, advocating for change in Nigeria, and supporting national unity,” he said.
According to him, the 2025 edition will not only spotlight exceptional contributions to peace and nation-building but will also feature music, comedy, fashion exhibitions, and other side attractions.
Amafibe stressed that the awards are merit-based and recognise individuals and organisations whose achievements have made tangible impacts on Nigerian society.
“The prestigious honour is solely in recognition of the works and achievements of recipients, particularly their positive impact on Nigeria, regardless of ethnic or religious affiliation,” he explained.
He further noted that support from partners are channelled into community-focused initiatives, including peace education campaigns, health outreach programmes, back-to-school drives, and other human capacity development projects aimed at uplifting the less privileged while complementing government efforts at all levels.
Nomination for the 2025 Peace Achievers Awards has already commenced.
