Two distinguished Nigerians, Chief Bro. Felix Obuah, renowned philanthropist and businessman, and Mrs Andrew Ihwo Lois, CEO of Deeutensils & Deescent Global, will be among the prominent personalities to be honoured at the 2025 Peace Achievers International Conference and Awards.
The event, organised by the Peace Ambassadors Agency, is themed “Peace Building Through Sectoral Partnerships: Public and Private Sector Collaboration.” It is scheduled to hold on November 8, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, by 5 p.m.
