The Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to give assent to the Nigeria Peace Corps (Establishment) Bill.
The governor made this appeal on Saturday in Osogbo, the state capital, during the passing-out parade of some officers of the corps.
Adeleke, who was represented by one of his aides, Mr Ajisafe Toyese, said if the president gives assent to the bill, it will serve as a job opportunity for Nigerians and unemployed youths.
He said that the corps would help in complementing the tireless efforts of other security agencies at maintaining peace across the country.
Adeleke urge the corps to unite in forming a common front toward achieving the mandate upon which it was being established also.
He also advised the new officer cadets to show discipline and focus in the discharge of their duties anywhere they might be posted to.
