Dear Mr. Agbakoba
Re: your book
Terrors of War”
We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your book, Pictures and Poetry of War, which depicts the trauma of Civil war in Nigeria on the mind of an eight year old child. On a closer reading of the book, we discover that the poignant depiction of the dereliction of war in the book, rather than promote a bitter recollection and the need for revenge, redirects the mind to a peaceful course of conflict resolution because war is devastating, destructive and anti-social.
The book promotes peace, tolerance and dialogue. These are principles that are at the very heart of the United Nations mandate to UNESCO whose activities are to promote a culture of peace in the World.
In view of this, we would like to suggest that you solicit the support of the Nigerian Educational Research Development Council (NERDC) to look into adopting you book as one of the resource materials for the Human Rights Education Syllabus for Schools in Nigeria.
Meanwhile we shall look into areas in which our office can support you in disseminating the publication.
Please accept the assurance of our highest regards.


Yours Sincerely,
Dr. Iyabo Fagbulu
Officer-in-Charge & National Professional
Officer for Education UNESCO Abuja
Mr. Nnamdi Paul Agbakoba
Author of “Terrors of War”
