The President, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, PDG Michael Olawale-Cole, represented by Group Human Resources Head, Colenson Group, Temiloluwase Oluwatanmi, said: “There was a sober reflection from the participants who promised to take what they learnt home and talk to their children on how to maintain peace in the environment.”

Olawale-Cole enjoined the people to be wary of causes of conflicts and factors that can hinder peace and impinge on friendship.

He listed the causes as intolerance, unhealthy competition, destructive criticism, personality clashes, arrogance and others.
