The Kaduna State Peace Commission (KAPECOM)has called on Nigerians to rededicate themselves to the cause for peace, as the country “needs peace to facilitate social progress and development.”

The commission made the call in a statement signed by the spokesman, Andrew Fadason.

“Kaduna Peace Commission joins millions of Nigerians in felicitating with Christians in Kaduna State in particular and the country in general on the occasion of Christmas.

“Being a period for the celebration of peace and love by humanity, the message to us Nigerians is cogent; Nigeria needs peace to facilitate social progress and development,” the statement said.

It noted that “the commission and relevant stakeholders with the support of Kaduna State government have worked seamlessly to sustain the peace in the state.”

The commission commended the efforts “of all peace-loving people in Kaduna” and urged them, as well as the rest of Nigerians, to sustain the momentum as there is no alternative to peace.
