This February of 2025, Plateau State, Nigeria, hosted two significant interfaith events aimed at fostering peace and unity among diverse religious communities. The celebration of World Interfaith Harmony Week on February 5 set the stage, followed by an engagement organized by the Cardinal Onaiyekan Foundation for Peace (COF) on February 13. Religious leaders from various faiths, including the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Jos, convened to discuss practical steps toward peacebuilding. The COF event, held at the Sacred Heart Pastoral Centre in Jos, brought together leaders from Christian, Muslim, and other faith traditions under the theme of mutual respect and cooperation. Salika Dasa, the Temple President of ISKCON Jos, represented the Krishna-conscious community and delivered insights rooted in the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
