Comrade Dauda, who was the Special Guest Speaker at the event, delivered an impactful address on the importance of peace in sustainable development. He highlighted his administration’s deliberate efforts since assumption of office to promote peace within Ikeja, raise awareness about peace-building initiatives, and strengthen platforms for community engagement as a demonstration of his commitment to inclusive and accountable leadership.

He further emphasized that fostering peace in Ikeja contributes to the stability of Lagos State and Nigeria, while also aligning with global efforts to build a safer and more united world.

“In Ikeja, we see peace as the foundation for progress. Every initiative we champion, every policy we implement, is anchored on the belief that peace is the bedrock of development. This symposium is a timely reminder that our collective destiny depends on how much we invest in unity, dialogue, and understanding,” Comrade Dauda stated.
