Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family” One of my favorite quotes from The Late Mr. Kofi Annan. Today we remember Mr. Kofi Annan, who passed away on 18 August 2018 (last Saturday). Mr. Annan was a Ghanaian diplomat and served as the Secretary-General of the United Nations from January 1997 to December 2006. Mr. Annan was also a co-recipient of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize. He was the founder and the chairman of the Kofi Annan Foundation, as well as the chairman of The Elders an international organization founded by Mr. Nelson Mandela. 
Today we are looking at the Kofi Annan you do not know, to help us with that, we have in the studio Mr. Victor Ochen, the founder and Executive director of African Youth Initiative Network (AYINET), he is also a peace activist. Mr. Ochen was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
