IPCR, Tomruk iHub target conflict prevention through nationwide peace education - Vanguard News

The Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) has partnered with Tomruk iHub Multiverse Limited to strengthen conflict prevention and resolution through an expanded mass peace education programme across Nigeria.

The partnership was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under the leadership of IPCR Director-General, Joseph Ochogwu.

The collaboration will combine IPCR’s expertise in peacebuilding and conflict management with Tomruk iHub’s ICT resources, technological capabilities and networks to deliver accessible and scalable peace education.

The initiative seeks to equip Nigerians and other Africans, particularly young people, with skills in conflict prevention, management and resolution.

It will also address election violence prevention, non-violence and conflict transformation, while extending peace education to formal and informal learning communities.

Speaking at the signing, Ochogwu stressed that “peace education is for everyone,” regardless of age, educational background or profession, emphasising the need for innovative approaches to make peace knowledge accessible to all.

The Managing Director/CEO of Tomruk iHub Multiverse Limited, Job Dachungyang, said “without peace and conflict resolution skills, Nigeria and Africa cannot grow, develop and become prosperous.”

He noted that lasting progress depended on citizens and institutions capable of preventing and resolving conflicts, adding that Tomruk iHub was committed to “using technology to take peace education to every community.”

The partnership underscores IPCR’s commitment to promoting a culture of peace, strengthening national cohesion and building peaceful and resilient communities through education, innovation and strategic collaboration.
