In 2011, while celebrating the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Peace Corps in 2011, the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) – an independent 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, separate from the Peace Corps, that serves as an alumni association for Returned Peace Corps Volunteers – honored Atiku with the Harris Wofford Global Citizen Award.
It was officially commissioned on May 5, 2003 by Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
At the ceremony, Malam Ismaila Isa made it clear that, despite rumour, Peoples Daily was not owned by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
It welcomed the launch of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme on 1 January 2003 and the efforts of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and International Contact Group on Liberia to bring about peace and stability in the region, particularly the appointment of Nigerian President Atiku Abubakar as mediator in Liberia.
