World Peace Day: Olagoke Calls For Good Governance
Good governance has been described as the panacea for sustainable development on peace, while building a culture of peace is sacrosanct for meaningful development at sustainable Level.
Professor Sabit Ariyo Olagoke JP, the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam, Shafaudeen in Islam Worldwide, disclosed this during the occasion of World Peace Day organized by the International Association of World Peace Advocates held at Jogor Center Ibadan, the, Oyo State capital.
Prof. Olagoke, who is the Patron of the Nigeria Justice of the Peace, Oyo State Chapter, was the Guest Lecturer at the occasion.
He hinted that working the talk of democracy to have sustainable development will generate the needed peace.
“The United Nations in her wisdom, developed a programme backed up with grants, which if followed accordingly as supposed, would have raised the Human Development Index (HDI) of any nation that adopt the its procedures.
He said that the SDGs were therefore developed with specific time bound and the needed components of development, charged every nation to follow as guide to promoting inclusive society that will be crime free.
The renowned scholar, in his lecture tittled;”#ACT4SDGs, Peace As A Tool For Sustainable Development,” spoke about Maslow Hierarchy of Needs, which comprises physiological needs, safety and security needs, social needs, self-esteem and actualisation, which, according to him, would by extension affect the integrity test of the elderly ones with implication on the country’s inability to produce right elder statesman.
He said that any elderly man must equally pass the integrity test of his Hierarchy of Attitudinal Needs for Total Personality: Self-actualization, Mentorship, Ethical Practice and Guide, Role Modelling, Altruism and Total Personality.
Such people, he said, will be respected as opinion moulders for the society, including those charged with the responsibility of governance in any capacity realm.
The cleric added that all forms of discrimination and marginalisation against Women and People With Disability (PWD) should end by being compliant with promotion of Inclusive Society.
“We must walk the talk of the International Day of Peace, (IDP) by ending racism to build peace and search for peace, harmony and sustainable development to glue the ties of peaceful coexistence for all to collectively build a nation that is justice and equity driven to be able to have peace and sustainable development in a safe and well secured environment,” he said.
The event witnessed the appointment of notable Nigerians drawn from all sectors of the economy as Peace Ambassadors.
