As Dr. Dickson Akoh, the National Commandant of the Peace Corps of Nigeria and Chairman of the board of directors, National Youth Council of Nigeria, celebrates his 52nd birthday coming up on July 10, 2025, we take a moment to reflect on his remarkable contributions to youth empowerment and community development.
Dr. Akoh’s dedication to empowering young people is evident in his tireless efforts to support youth-related initiatives. As a champion of youth development, he has touched countless lives, providing opportunities for growth and self-improvement. His passion for empowering the next generation has earned him a reputation as a selfless leader who puts the needs of others before his own.
In his community, Dr. Akoh has made a lasting impact through his generosity and commitment to development. He has empowered thousands of individuals, equipping them with the skills and resources needed to succeed. His contributions to infrastructure development are equally impressive, having built and equipped a Divisional Police Station, complete with a Hilux vehicle to support logistics. Additionally, he played an instrumental role in the construction of a magnificent Catholic Church in his village, a testament to his commitment to spiritual development.
One of Dr. Akoh’s most ambitious projects is the development of a world-class resort, which has created opportunities for economic growth and youth empowerment. This initiative is a reflection of his vision for a brighter future, where young people can thrive and reach their full potential.
At Aluta News, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of civil society, labour unions, youth groups, students, and other progressive individuals, Dr. Dickson Akoh is a constant source of inspiration. As the National Commandant of the Peace Corps of Nigeria and Chairman of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, he consistently provides moral and financial support whenever the need arises. His commitment to empowering marginalized voices has earned him a reputation as a champion of progress.
One of Dr. Akoh’s major visions and set goals is to ensure that the Peace Corps of Nigeria Bill is passed into law and assented to by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This dream has captured the imagination of thousands of Nigerian youths, who eagerly await its realization. The passage of this bill would not only legitimize the Peace Corps but also unlock new opportunities for youth development and empowerment.
As Dr. Akoh works tirelessly to bring this vision to life, he remains a beacon of hope for many young Nigerians. His leadership and dedication to the cause have inspired a sense of optimism, and his commitment to creating a better future for all is unwavering. The realization of this dream would be a testament to his perseverance and a significant milestone in the journey towards a more prosperous and equitable society
