Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,
yesterday, launched a children’s story book on peace to celebrate the the 2015
International Day of Peace.
The
former president said he decided to launch the story book entitled, “Peace
Story for Children” to ensure the entrenchment of sustainable peace in the
country.
Obasanjo,
while launching the 14-page booklet illustrated with various cartoons at an
event held at the OOPL, Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, attended by pupils from
different secondary schools in the state, said that it had become imperative to
sow the seeds of peace in the minds of children whose minds were more receptive
to ideas.
Obasanjo,
who was represented at the launch of the booklet by the Director of the OOPL
Centre for Human Security, Prof. Peter Okebukola, noted that since the youths
were the leaders of tomorrow, imbibing the essence of peace when young should
be vigorously pursued.
