Prof Itoe, the Country Director, on his part, is looking forward to start the peace building right from the base. He told our reporter after his commissioning that: “ It is a very heavy task and we thank God because when the Lord calls, He anoints and gives provision. You know peace is what everyone wants and there cannot be development without peace. Peace begins with the peace of the mind, peace with your neighbour and family”.
