*PRESS RELEASE*
*CELEBRATING THE MTI-NIGERIA INTERNATIONAL DAY OF MEDIATION!!!*
*JULY 24 (24/7)*
I am pleased and indeed excited to announce the 2026 MTI-Nigeria International Day of Mediation
It is a day set aside for "EVERYONE" to attempt the resolution of a dispute within his/her domain/context - family, workplace, community etc
Mediation should not be like a garment that you put on whenever it suits you and put off when it does not serve your interest or purpose!
*We should be Mediators, 24/7: Twenty Four Hours A Day, Seven Days A Week!!!*
In our thoughts, words and deeds, we should reflect the high standards and ideals of the very fulfilling Ministry of Reconciliation - Mediation.
Mediation skills are life skills for managing differences, building and sustaining relationships, promoting peace and harmonious coexistence in our domains.
The skills can and indeed should be used for reconciliation of disputes involving:
1. Estranged spouses, parents, children, siblings, in-laws, etc
2. Colleagues, neighbours, friends, business associates/partners, etc
3. Landlords Vs tenants, employers Vs employees, community conflicts etc
If you wish to share your experience afterwards, please feel free to send it to: [email protected]; copy: [email protected],[email protected]
Your kind efforts will be recognized, appreciated and published.
Kindly seek and protect the privacy and confidentiality of the parties involved please.
We look forward to the privilege of celebrating with you the *2026 MTI-Nigeria International Day of Mediation (24/7)*
Please give my very warm and affectionate regards to your God-blessed families
Sincerely,
