UN Grants 7 Slots To Nigerian Peace Corps For Its 2017 Gatherings

The United Nations has granted 7 slots to the Officers of the Nigerian Peace Corps (NPC), to enable it participate in all United Nations meetings and conferences, including that of the General Assembly, for the year 2017.

This was even as the Corps has successfully concluded its annual accreditation for the membership of the UN regular committee on Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) for the current year.

The Nigerian Peace Corps has been enjoying a consultative status with the United Nations over the years, and the Corps is currently a member of the Social and Economic unit of the UN.

According to the National Commandant of Nigerian Peace Corps, Amb. (Dr.) Dickson Akoh, the knowledge acquired by the Officers of the Corps shall be used as focal point for the orientation of all members of the NPC and Nigerian youths in general.
