Former President Olusegun Obasanjo monday launched a children story book on peace for the 2015 International Peace Day.
The story book which was written by the ex-president, is titled: ‘Peace Story for Children’ and was presented to the public at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

While launching the 14-paged booklet, Obasanjo illustrated various cartoons displayed in the book.

The book launch was attended by pupils from different secondary schools in the state. The former president said it had become imperative to sow the seeds of peace in the minds of children whose minds were more receptive to ideas.

He added that doing this would ensure the entrenchment of sustainable peace in the country.

Obasanjo who is currently outside the country on peace missions to some other parts of the world was represented by the Director of OOPL Centre for Human Security, Prof. Peter Okebukola, noted that since the youths are the future leaders, imbibing the essence of peace at young age should be vigorously pursued.

The event also witnessed debate with the theme: ‘Whose Responsibility is it to ensure peace? Is it the people or the government?’
Okebukola disclosed that Obasanjo called him overnight to tell Nigerian children to imbibe the culture of peace while still young.
