Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has described the 2024 International Day for Tolerance as a crucial occasion dedicated to promoting peace, inclusion and prosperity in a diverse society.
Sanwo-Olu, represented by his Special Adviser on Central Internal Audit, Oyeyemi Ayoola, affirmed that his administration was dedicated to fostering initiatives that embrace diversity, while supporting advocacy programmes aimed at encouraging intercultural dialogue and instilling the values of respect in young people from an early age.
Earlier, Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ibrahim Layode, remarked that while the program primarily targets youths, it was inclusive and open to all audiences without restriction.
Layode emphasised that religious organizations, traditional institutions and individuals should be included in the effort to promote tolerance.
The programme, themed “Tolerance Projects: The Beauty in the Diversity of Human Groups,” was organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs to commemorate the 2024 International Day for Tolerance.
