According to Adeleke, the bill, if assented to by the president, will go a long way in providing jobs for a large number of unemployed youths and also ensuring peace and unity in the country.

He said that the corps would help in complementing the tireless efforts of other security agencies at maintaining peace across the country.

Adeleke called on the corps to unite in forming a common front toward achieving the mandate upon which it was being established.

He advised the new officer cadets to show discipline and focus in the discharge of their duties anywhere they might be posted.
Adeleke commended the Commandant-General of the corps, Dr Mustapha Abubakar, and his officers for ensuring the success of the passing-out parade.

Earlier, the Oni of Ife and the Grand Patron of NPC, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, commanded the corps’ commandant-general for siting the South-West Zonal Command Training School in Osun.

Ogunwusi urged the new officer cadets to be more committed, dedicated, hard-working and disciplined in the course of carrying out their duties.

The traditional ruler thanked the governor for the support and encouragement given to the corps in making the occasion a huge success.

The commandant-general of NPC thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for accepting to sign the bill establishing the corps into law.

In his address, he advised the newly graduated cadets to prioritise personal development, as it would significantly enhance the quality of their service in the NPC.
