President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who was declared winner of 2019 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in Oslo, Norway, saying it portends a good sign for the peace processes within countries and across borders on African continent.
The president felicitated with the Ethiopian Prime Minister, his cabinet and all Ethiopians on the remarkable global recognition of winning the 100th peace prize, which was attributed to a decision to end 20-year conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea.
The president said African development is strongly tied to peaceful co-existence and deliberate efforts by governments and people to sustain harmony within and between countries.
He called for more concerted and collective partnership on peace in the continent.
The president prayed that the global recognition would spur more interest on issues of peace in Africa, and drive home the immeasurable benefits.
