Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said this at a symposium organised by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Women’s Association at the Teachers Hall in Accra.
It was on the theme: “Religious Tolerance and Peaceful Existence”.

Impartial
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang described peace as when systems installed by society were working impartially adding that “citizens need not to look over their shoulders when they walk the streets.
They must do this with absolute trust in their leaders at all levels of society.
The former Minister of Education in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration and the first female Vice Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, said peace could be said to manifest when citizens were able to play their roles as required of them in building a nation everyone could be proud of without any interferences from any quarters.
