Under Samuel Adobah’s leadership, Universal Friendship Organisation has successfully championed several peace projects, solidifying its position as a dedicated peace advocacy group.

This esteemed award acknowledges Adobah’s tireless efforts to foster global peace and understanding through his work with Universal Friendship Organisation.

Speaking after receiving the award, Mr. Adobah emphasized that peace plays a critical role in human life and must be practiced in every corner of the globe. He reiterated the importance of collective efforts in promoting peace and unity, inspiring individuals and communities to work together towards a more harmonious world.
According to him, “Peace is a shared responsibility, and one cannot promote peace for many to enjoy.” Therefore, he urged all and sundry to show commitment in promoting peace and unity everywhere.
He added that the Bawku conflict has been his concern over the years, noting that the disunity among traditional leaders in the area has caused the nation to lose significant financial resources. Despite successive governments investing heavily in resolving these chieftaincy disputes, little progress has been made, underscoring the need for a more sustainable and inclusive approach to peacebuilding.
Furthermore, he expressed concern that innocent souls have been lost and properties damaged, which has discouraged investors from bringing development to the area. This, he emphasized, underscores the urgent need for peace and stability to ensure the well-being and prosperity of the people.
The Global Peace Ambassadors Awards ceremony celebrated individuals and organizations making a positive impact on global peace and unity. Adobah’s award serves as a testament to his passion and commitment to creating a more peaceful world.
