Innocent Ujah Idibia aka 2Face Idibia, is introducing the “2face Peace Awards” to promote peace and support young Nigerians involved in peace projects in their communities, where six winners would be selected for the awards.

According to him, the six categories are:

1. Women-led Peace Building
2. Youth Peace Building
3. Peace building in the environment (for those having conflicts over resources).
4. Projects on urban violence and community peace building
5. The use of technology or Social Media for peace building
6. Mediation directed at reducing violence against women and girls.

The pop star said that N1million would be presented to each winner, along with opportunities to attend key global peace summits and exchange programmes in 2014.

He further said:

“These young people are mostly unnoticed but you will find them working hard in various places, educating people and helping to manage conflicts and promoting peace.

“They have become community leaders in peace building, reconciliation and post -conflict reconstruction, thereby establishing themselves as the next generation of leaders.

“As we march towards Nigeria’s centenary celebrations in 2014, more than anything else, we choose to celebrate these young unsung heroes, who are active in their communities, promoting peace.

“We want to celebrate them through the ‘2face Peace Awards’’, ‘’.
