Abstract

Recent events in Nigeria have shown that the country cannot move forward without considering peace education in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions. To make this realistic, it is crucial, if a wider audience is to be reached, that new digital media technologies are utilized in the processes of peace education teaching and learning. This article examines the possibilities of utilizing digital media technologies in promoting peace education in Nigeria based on primary and secondary sources of literature relevant to the issues. With the help of new digital media technologies, peace education will improve the public’s sense of security in Nigeria. The study advocates for immediate use of new digital media in peace education teaching and learning. The argument this article presents is that using new digital media in peace education must be seen as a core national project and therefore taken seriously by stakeholders because peace is synonymous with development.
