Mohammed Identifies Cultural Festivals, As Platforms To Promote Peace, UnityThe Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has described cultural festivals as veritable platforms to promote peace and unity, especially in a country like Nigeria blessed with rich diversity. The Minister made the remark in Jos, the Plateau State, Friday at the 2016 Nzem Berom Festival with the theme “A Cultural Brand for Unity, Peace and Progress”. Culture, of which festival is a subset, is a strong instrument of unity, especially in a country with such a rich diversity as ours. “I have no doubt that with the good works of the state government, the wisdom of His Royal Majesty and the commitment to peace by all the good people of Plateau, peace and tranquility will be sustained in this beautiful land,” Alhaji Mohammed said. I do hope that festival managers and creative artists in Plateau will be among the first beneficiaries of this training,” the Minister stressed.
