In more developed economies, efforts are tailored towards the pre-occupation of the youths in productive ventures where they will be economically useful to themselves and the larger society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is in addition to engaging them in moral, citizenship, and leadership training aimed at character building and their valuable participation in nation-building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the United States of America, for instance, the American Peace Corps was created as an agency to promote World Peace and Friendship by training American youths as volunteers to perform social and humanitarian services overseas, including Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe volunteers help communities in Developing Countries improve their Social and Economic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dynamic nature of insecurity in Nigeria today requires role differentiation as a panacea to expertise in addressing security challenges. It also requires multi- sectoral, multi- lateral and multi- dimensional approaches to tackle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn more advanced societies, Youth Based Organisations like the Nigerian Peace Corps, are established with the sole aim of engaging and pre-occupying the youths as a panacea to the social consequences of being unemployed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimilar organisations that exist in other parts of the world are: the American Peace Corps, Canadian Peace Corps, Bangladesh National Cadet Corps, Peace Officers Commission in China, Chinese Labour Corps, Lera Uniform Corps of Malaysia, Malaysian People Volunteer Corps, Production and Construction Corps of China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these are consciously and deliberately designed to empower and socially pre-occupy the youths so that their state of idleness won\u2019t be exploited adversely\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Akoh thanked the leadership and entire members of the 9th National Assembly for the unanimous support given to his Organisation all through the legislative processes leading to the eventual passage of the Bill for an Act to Establish Nigerian Peace Corps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Commandant of the Peace Corps of Nigeria (PCN), Professor Dickson Akoh has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari should assent to Bill for an Act that would make the organization a statutory body.
