EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PROJECTS AND LOGICTICS.
Distinguished gentlemen of the press,
We welcome you to this world press conference today where we hope do a general assessment of the security situation in the country with special concentration on the north eastern part of the country.
We, the GLOBAL NETWORK FOR PEACE IN NIGERIA, a peace advocacy nongovernmental organization operating both in Nigeria and in the Diaspora, having carefully assessed, reviewed and analyzed the current insecurity situation in some parts of the north, we have resolved to continue to be in the vanguard of peace advocacy in Nigeria.
With over 1, 500,000 card carrying members across the 36 states and the FCT, we have been able to sincerely assess what the true situation has actually been in the last few months since the administration of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has gone all out to put an end to the insurgency situation in the north east. Our members who are fully on ground in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states, (3 states under emergency rule) have in the last 8 weeks been testifying of the improved security situation in those states and we must commend the effort of the commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces of the country, and the Nigeria Military for the good works they have been doing. We must also specifically commend our gallant soldiers for putting their lives on the line for the protection of lives, properties and the territorial integrity of our dear country, Nigeria.

We have also witnessed massive infrastructural and economic advancement in the country in recent time. We are seeing the road, railway, agriculture, aviation, power, health and other sectors experiencing total transformation and of note worthy is the recent combating, terming and total eradication of the dreaded EBOLA virus out of our country. We have seen also the influx of foreign investors into our country which suggests that the administration of GEJ is seriously on top of the security situation.
In view of the aforementioned, our organization has therefore resolved to pull its weight behind the current administration as led by our dear president Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR, Commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In doing this, we have outlined series of projects and programs to push our campaign for peaceful co-existence in Nigeria. Some of the Programs are highlighted below.

For us at GNPN, we strongly believe that the, economic and infrastructural development we are witnessing at the moment and the relatively peaceful atmosphere that the country is going through at present should be consolidated on and sustained. We wish to state also for the president to be able to build on the successes his administration has recorded, Nigeria has to be in peace and for Nigeria to remain peaceful and the peace sustained to an appreciable level, the President has be allowed to complete the good works he has started.
