About us
The National Peace Committee (NPC) is a non-governmental initiative conceptualized in 2014 in response to emerging threats occasioned by the 2015 general elections. It is an initiative made up of eminent elder statesmen who undertake efforts to support free, fair and credible elections as well as intervene in critical issues of national concern through high-level mediated and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. At inception, the NPC had an urgent, broad based mandate to make modest contributions towards a smooth and peaceful conduct of the 2015 elections, devoid of any breakdown of law and order before, during and after the electioneering process.
TESTIMONIALS
The integrity of our elections can only be ensured if it is peaceful and devoid of rigging and vote buying. The code of conduct designed by the peace committee is very important for the 2019 elections and all stakeholders must subscribe to it. It should be seen as one of the conditions for a peaceful election.Editorial, The Sun

Although the import of the innovation called the National Peace Committee does not appear to have sunk in popular consciousness yet, it is, indeed, an investment in the future worth keeping strongly in view. Its potentials are tremendous.WATCHING THE NATIONAL PEACE COMMITTEE IN NIGERIA WITH INTEREST
