BBOV-Africa Joins YALI Network Akwa Ibom to Mark International Day of Peace
Bring Back Our Values Africa (BBOV-Africa) on Saturday, 20th of September 2025 joined the YALI Network Akwa Ibom State Hub and other partner organisations to mark the advance celebration of International Day of Peace 2025, the first event of its kind in Akwa Ibom State.
The event, themed “Akwa Ibom Fitness Walk for Peace 25”, featured a vibrant procession from Ibom Hall to the Main Bowl of Ibom Plaza. With colourful placards, inspiring chants, and energetic music, the walk engaged residents of Uyo on the importance of peace, harmony, and collective responsibility.
In honour of World CleanUp Day, the event also spotlighted environmental stewardship. It was declared the first waste-free outing in Uyo by Plasticultured Community, reinforcing the connection between peaceful coexistence and a clean, sustainable environment.
By this collaboration, BBOV-Africa reaffirmed its three-fold commitment to, restoring African core values, empowering leaders and helping communities as none of these aforementioned can be achieved without collective efforts towards attaining or maintaing peace among ourselves.
The event’s success was made possible through the collaboration of our very own self and other like-minded, forward-thinking organisations in the State, including Onofiok Luke Foundation, Activista, Plasticultured, Uyo Toastmasters Club, ATYCares Initiative, and several others.
At BBOV-Africa, we remain committed to partnerships that promote peace, preserve values, and empower communities for sustainable impact.
