This study was embarked upon with a view to examining the need for peace in the management of tertiaryinstitutions towards enhancing academic performance in south-south Nigeria. Three hypotheses and one researchquestion guided the study. One thousand, two hundred and nineteen (1219) academic and non-academic staff wereselected for the study. A 31 item researcher developed questionnaire was used to collect data from the sampled staffin their respective institutions. Population t-test and mean scores were used to analyze data collected. Findings showthat peace was advocated but there were serious inadequacies in the implementation and enforcement process ofpeace. Proposed peace was scarcely enforced to the detriment of academic performance. The manner and approachto existing peace management does not actually address the issue of peace building. Based on the findings,recommendations were made which included among others, that conflict resolution and peace education coursesshould be introduced in the school curriculum.

This paper sought to posit that religious manipulation is a threat to societal development in Nigeria. The researcher adopts descriptive method. Nigeria today has been known with a lot of diversity of belief which in one way or the other has a negative impact to the societal development. It is noticed that the diversity of religious practices in Nigeria is the outcome of manipulation. For a society to develop, tolerance is at times its fulcrum. The author concludes that intolerance and insurgency is as a result of religious manipulation. Which was as a result of poor checkmating of religious belief in Nigeria and to curtail it before it reaches to the worst stage. However, this paper recommends that in order to control this perilous act, there is a need for Nigeria to emulate on how to treat people irrespective of religion. And enhance peace education in Africa.

Positive Results

The 2016 evaluations of New Zealand's Cool Schools and the leadership through peer mediation (LtPM) programs revealed positive results regarding improved self-esteem among peer mediators, increased perceptions of safety in the schooling environment, and increased conflict resolution and interpersonal communication skills. This chapter highlights the contribution of these peer-mediation programs. The authors then turn to problems, inequalities, and peace education practices within the New Zealand schooling environment to explain how the Cool Schools and LtPM programs are relevant in solving wider societal problems. The chapter finally focuses on examining the drivers of success in both programs and the broader ethos of the Peace Foundation Aotearoa/New Zealand, which enables its success.
