Members of the Nigeria peace corps, Oyo state Command on Tuesday held a rally across Ibadan, the state capital to acknowledge the passage of a bill to establish the Nigeria Peace Corps in the National Assembly.

Members of the corps who converged at Felele moved round the city and also visited most of the media houses in Ibadan.

The Corps members who were apparently happy carried placards with various inscriptions such as “Nigeria peace corps appreciates all constituted authority” “we say thank you to all governors, National Assembly thank you” among others.
In an interview the Oyo state commandant of the corps, Mr Dare Adesina said with the passage of the bill will afford the youths in the country the opportunity to use their strength to curb all forms of vices .

Adesina also assured Nigerians that the corps would ensure a peaceful environment that would create conducive atmosphere for socio economic development when finally endursed by the president.
