Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has called on religious leaders and faith communities must join hands with governments and play a significant role in ensuring fraternity and harmony in the West Africa sub-region.
HE said that an integrated, peaceful and prosperous sub-region would not be fully guaranteed if peace does not first reign in local communities and in each of our countries.

The vice president said this, on Wednesday, in Abuja, at the General Assembly of the Reunion of the Episcopal Conference of West Africa (RECOWA), held at the ECOWAS Secretariat.
