Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP) is set to launch the Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) research project in the country.
The Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) is the first national peace index in Nigeria that is focused on measuring peace tendencies through foundational indices.
In a press statement issued yesterday by Executive Director, Foundation for Peace Professionals, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, in Abuja explained that the research project will show the most and least peaceful states in Nigeria, and the most and least peaceful region in Nigeria.
“It will also reveal the most peaceful states in each of the 6 geo-political zones of Nigeria, least peaceful states in each of the 6 geo-political zones in Nigeria among other interesting revelations”.
He further explained that the index also provides analysis of socio economic factors associated with peacefulness in states across Nigeria, as well as an estimate of the economic benefits that will flow from increase in peace.
“Nigeria Peace Index (NPI), which rates the level of peacefulness in the 36 states of the federation, is the product of Foundation for Peace Professionals (FPP).
“FPP is an independent and non-partisan organization dedicated towards propagating peace and promoting Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR),” he said.
