Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, who served as the Guest of Honour during the event, spoke eloquently on global peace and development, while also stressing the growing need for an integrated African economic platform as the world walks away from Covid-19 and its many different challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On receiving the award, Dr. Manyeh expressed gratitude to the organisers of the event and pointedly observed that \u201cevents like this go a long way to show that Sierra Leone has turned the corner from the darker days of our challenging past to a hopeful and brighter phase\u201d. The soft-spoken diplomat went on to pay tribute to \u201cthe exemplary strides of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio, for setting the national stage and accelerating the pace for peace\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the words of the awarding body, the UPF, \u201cAmbassadors for Peace\u201d are people whose lives \u201cexemplify the ideals of living for the sake of others and who dedicate themselves to practices which promote universal moral values, strong family ties, inter-religious cooperation, international harmony and the establishment of a culture of peace\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abdulai Braima<br>information.attache@uk.slhc.gov.sl<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
