Pint-sized Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Mousa, popularly known as Ibro, has been named the ambassador of Peace on Campus Initiative (PCI), a non-government organisation aimed at combating social vices among youths in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
Since Ibro was officially unveiled as the Ambassador of the organisation under the chairmanship of Oliver Cowell, he and his entourage have been busy campaigning against social vices like cultism and prostitution among Nigerian youths.
According to Ibro, who is currently in the Eastern part of the country campaigning against the menace of cultism, the initiative is expected to cover all the geographical zones of the country before the train will move to foreign institutions, particularly in West Africa.
NollywoodReel gathered that the PCI project is supported by the Federal Government through the Special Adviser to the President on Ethics and Value, Sarah Jubril.
In a chat with NollywoodReel, Ibro said: “It is a massive project and the Federal Government is actively involved too. The purpose is to fight cultism and other social vices that have plagued our tertiary education system for years.
“And so far, we have made tremendous impact. To God be the glory, a lot of cultists have renounced their membership through this platform. We will not relent in our efforts too until the vices become a thing of the past in our society.”
Asked if his acting career will not suffer, Ibro said: “Not at all. Everything is working together for good. As a matter of fact, I will be doing more movies that will tackle the problems of these social vices soon.”
