Founder Lists Peace Corps’ Acievements in 27 Years

National commandant of the Peace Corps of Nigeria (PCN), Dr Dickson Akoh, has said the organisation he founded 27 years ago, has remained a force for social transformation in Nigeria.

Akoh made the assertion yesterday in an address to mark the 27th anniversary/2025 Founder’s Day celebration of PCN in Abuja.

He said the youth-based group has inspired Nigerian youths to achieve their desired goals and connected them to opportunities to transform their lives and create a more peaceful society for all.

“So far, the corps has grown from a humble beginning into a nationally and internationally recognised, youth-driven force for peace and social transformation.

“This day, therefore, holds a deep significance on our calendar as it symbolises resilience, unity, and progress that is firmly anchored on youth development, patriotic service, peace-building and national re-orientation of values we hold dear and pursue with unwavering commitment.

“Anniversaries like this provide a valuable opportunity to look back, reflect on our journey and chart the way forward.

“It is no secret that our path has been laden with institutional and operational challenges. Yet, despite the odds, our organisation has remained resilient, demonstrating remarkable courage, discipline, and consistency in service to our dear nation,” Akoh said.
