African leaders urged to promote peace

Dr Richard Shakarian, International President of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International (FGBMFI) has called on African leaders to ensure peace on the Continent.

Mr George Yaw Prah, National President of FGBMFI, said the conference was being held at the time Ghana was celebrating her 58t h Independence Anniversary,

He noted that without unit y and peace the desire of Africans for development and advancement would be a mirage.

The National President urged Christians to strive and contribute their quota towards nation-building.
