The Nigerian Senate has passed the Nigerian Peace Corps bill for final reading to provide the body with ‘a stronger framework’. Senators said there was the need to use the outfit to better protect Nigerian security and therefore approved a bill for the establishment of the Nigerian Peace Corps as an agency under the Ministry of Interior. Nigerian Senate has passed the Nigerian Peace Corps bill to better engage Nigerian youths Chairman, Committee on Interior, Senator Bayero Nafada (APC, Gombe) explained the importance of the bill thus:“The organisation will be of great benefit to the Nigerian youths (because) in response to increasing complexity of the factors responsible for insecurity and the method by which peace and security is being undermined in Nigeria, there is need to develop comprehensive, multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholders and inclusive approaches in order to stem these threats.” READ ALSO: Buhari writes emotional message to Atiku @ 70 in spite of 2019 takeover plans The committee also recommended that the Nigerian Peace Corps and the National Unity and Peace Corps should be merged since both formations appear the same. The Senate had at its sitting on Thursday, March 10, 2016 debated on the general principles of the Nigerian Peace Corps Bill, 2016 (SB.173) sponsored by Senator Ali Ndume and the National Unity and Peace Corps Bill, 2016 (SB.183) sponsored by Senator Binta Garba Masi and referred it to the committee for further legislative action. The Nigerian Peace Corps Bill, among others, seeks to empower, develop and provide gainful employment for the youths, to facilitate Peace, Volunteerism, Community Services, Neighbourhood Watch and Nation-building. https://www.naij.com/1061038-breaking-senate-passes-peace-corps-bill-beef-security.html |

Buhari should please don't sign it into law. Dickson Akor defrauded us in 2002 in Anambra state. A lot of people left their paid job for this scam |

What exactly will be the duties of the Peace corp that the Nigerian police force and the national civil defence corp are not currently doing? We just keep creating unnecessary agencies with duplicating duties. We should be working towards reducing the cost of governance and not creating useless agencies to add up to the cost. The president should veto this bill if it is eventually passed by the two chambers. 3 Likes |
