November 21, (THEWILL) – The First Lady, Dr. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, has convened the 9th General Assembly of the African First Ladies Peace Mission for Monday.
According to a statement by her media office, the African First Ladies Peace Mission was established in 1997 as an umbrella body of wives of African Heads of State/Presidents and Government to play a supportive role to the African Union, regional organisations, and national governments in fostering peace and reducing conflicts and their effects on the African continent.
The event will include a fund-raising dinner to raise funds for the development of the Mission’s secretariat.
“Caveat – all payments from donors are to be made to the designated account of the ‘AFRICAN FIRST LADIES PEACE MISSION’ only. No cash receipts,” the statement stated.
