The Nigerian government has pledged unalloyed support to the newly appointed United Nations Global Advocate for Peace, @Alhan_islam, in her bid to promote unity and peace across the globe.
Vice President @KashimSM, who disclosed this on Monday in Abuja, described the appointment of Maryam, a Nigerian spoken word artist and peace advocate who is the first person to hold the role across the @UN’s entire Peace and Security Pillar, as well-deserved.
Speaking when the United Nations Global Advocate for Peace led her team on a courtesy visit to his office at the Presidential Villa, VP @KashimSM noted that Maryam had been consistent in her peace advocacy, as depicted in one of her videos that went viral: “Violence Has No Religion.”
“That is the Nigeria of our dreams, and she (Maryam) has been consistent, and one of her ardent contributions was that video that went viral: ‘Violence Has No Religion.’ To me, it is the crowning glory of her career. I have watched that particular video more than a hundred times because it is very inspiring,” the Vice President stated.
