Muslim World League chief arrives Abuja for interfaith peace conference

Dr Mohammad Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League, has arrived in Abuja for the Interfaith Peace Conference. The conference, jointly organized by the Muslim World League and Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), aims to promote religious tolerance, peaceful coexistence and development. Al-Issa was greeted upon arrival on Monday by several Nigerian government officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport.

The two-day international conference will bring together Muslim and Christian leaders. Garba Mohammed, chairman of the conference committee, stated that Al-Issa and his team arrived in Nigeria to participate in the event. The conference is significant due to its potential to strengthen religious inclusivity, tolerance, peace and peaceful coexistence in Nigeria.

Mohammed emphasized that the conference is not exclusively focused on Islamic development, despite being led by an Islamic organization, as it aims to benefit humanity as a whole. The conference is also expected to see the signing of the Abuja Declaration, a new initiative to strengthen peace-building efforts in Nigeria and West Africa.
