In 2018 Jennifer Serrano Peace and Unity Foundation had a vision to unite all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, tongue, creed or political affiliations; this passion birthed THE UNITY PROJECT NIGERIA (TUPN)
TUPN creates structured platforms—such as the Nigeria First Unity Summit—where young Nigerians engage policymakers, security agencies, and civic leaders in constructive dialogue on unity, peace, and national development.
We train and mobilize young people as peace ambassadors, equipping them with conflict resolution, advocacy, and community engagement skills to promote peaceful coexistence at the grassroots level.
Through campus-based programs, TUPN works with tertiary institutions to promote leadership, tolerance, and civic responsibility among students, nurturing unity values at an early stage of leadership development.
TUPN leverages culture, creativity, and digital platforms to unite youths across ethnic and religious lines through festivals, arts, storytelling, and online campaigns that promote national identity and social cohesion.
The Unity Project Nigeria successfully hosted the Peace and Security Summit Awards 2026 on 16th July 2026 at Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja, under the theme “Security, A Collective Responsibility.” The event brought together government institutions, security agencies, diplomatic and development partners, traditional and religious leaders, civil society stakeholders, private sector representatives, and community actors to discuss practical responses to insecurity in Nigeria.
The Summit provided a national platform for open dialogue, institutional collaboration, intelligence sharing, community participation, and renewed commitment to peacebuilding. Participants emphasized that Nigeria’s security challenges cannot be solved by government alone, but require the active participation of citizens, communities, security agencies, religious institutions, traditional leaders, development partners, and the private sector.
The Nigeria First Unity Summit 2025, convened by The Unity Project Nigeria (TUPN), successfully brought together top government officials, security leaders, diplomats, and youth representatives to advance national dialogue on peace, unity, and security.
Distinguished attendees included the Chairman of FERMA, the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Transportation, the Chairman of NDLEA, the Presidential Spokesperson, the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Director-General of the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR), the Director-General of the City Boy Movement, and the European Union Ambassador to Nigeria.
