Every 21 September world over is tagged by the United Nations as International Day of Peace. This year's (2016) theme is, 'The Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for Peace'.
In Nigeria especially Calabar, Cross River State capital city, the Partners for Peace (P4P), a non-governmental organisation set to promote peace in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria will be marking this auspicious day through a handful of activities principal among which is a 5km peace walk coded Peace Walk-a-Thon. P4P encourages proactive action, team spirit and volunteerism.
Considering the threat to peace posed by insurgency in the north, militancy in the south, secession in the east, armed robbery, kidnapping, theft, cult gang rivalry etc that recently greeted our dear state's capital there is need for a proactive to ensure sustainable peace. And all P4P is asking you is that you trek for peace.

Let's leave you with the following enduring words from the world's foremost diplomat, “The people of the world have asked us to shine a light on a future of promise and opportunity. Member States have responded with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development… It is an agenda for people, to end poverty in all its forms. An agenda for the planet, our common home. An agenda for shared prosperity, peace and partnership.” —
UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon
