The Archbishop said the Venerable Fathers of the Second Vatican Council have advised that peace, though a gift from God, requires human positive consistent actions.

For nothing is impossible with God. May God bless us with a more peaceful Nigeria and a better world filled with peace through Christ our Lord,’ he prayed.
