AU endorses president’s initiative for peace, corruption

The African Union has endorsed the Buhari Unity Band, a not-for-profit initiative that articulates the president’s commitment to peace, unity and fight against corruption.

In a letter presented to Dr. Abayomi Oyekoya, the body’s convener, in Abuja at the weekend, the Nigerian Representative of the African Union Economic, Social and Cultural Council (AU-ECOSOCC), Dr. Tunji John Asaolu, said AU found the initiative apt in promoting sustainable development, peace and unity in Nigeria “towards the attainment of the AU Agenda 2063.”

“We endorse the Buhari Unity Band and also approve your request to organise the AU Agenda 2063 Ambassadorial Award in collaboration with AU-ECOSOCC,” he said.
