After undergoing intensive training for four weeks, the 2,800 cadets were graduated on Saturday at the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, campground in Agege area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria and were immediately converted to staff of PCN.


National Commandant, PCN, Dr. Dickson Akoh, while speaking during the event said the 2,800 cadets were drawn from Lagos and other neighbouring States within the South West into the Staff Officers’ Cadre of Peace Corps of Nigeria, having successfully completed their statutory one month initial training and orientation exercise.


He said the youths being commissioned to Staff Officers’ Cadre, were subjected to a 4-week intensive training and orientation, emphasizing that the tasks ahead of them were quite enormous.


“Thus, while urging you to diligently perform these envisioned tasks, you are to note that in winning the support of the government and the citizenry, you have to be more civil and people-friendly in discharging your functions. Be guided by the fact about the huge responsibilities and the demands of your new status after your commissioning. Note therefore that hard-work and discipline without positive attitude could lead to avoidable failure. Read more
