He said: “The major thing that brings development is peace and that is why I am always preaching about peace in our state. When there is peace, development is bound to occur. Nobody will want to invest in a place where there is no peace.
“There are gains in being a facilitator of peace irrespective of the interest. Young people, community, religions youth leaders and other stakeholders need to be facilitators of peace process and conflict resolution.”
He called on youths to shun all forms of social vices and make peace their watchword everywhere they find themselves.
