Society for Peace Studeis and Practice is a Not-for-Profit organisation that promotes non-violent
approach to conflict resolution, through multi-level research, advocacy and actions that strengthen
local capacities that will bring about a sustainable culture of peace. The Society began as the

Initially spearheaded by staff and student members from the University of Ibadan led by

Affairs Commission (CAC/IT/NO.21194) as a Not-For-Profit Civil Society in 2004 and has gained national
outlook and acceptance with its network of branches spread all-over Nigeria and beyond.
