BREAKING: Reps
regazette Peace
Corps, Electoral Act,
other Bills
By Yemi Itodo
The Nigerian House of Representatives, on
Wednesday, reintroduced a Bill for an Act to establish
Nigerian Peace Corps, which was recently rejected by
President Muhammad Buhari.
Spokesman of the House, Hon. Abdulrazak Namdas,
had Wednesday last week, informed National
Assembly Correspondents that, the lower chamber
was going to review the Peace Corps Bill and others,
which were considered as popular Bills but were
rejected by the Presidency.
At the plenary of Wednesday, the Bills were gazetted
and passed first reading by the lawmakers.
Aside the Nigerian Peace Corps Bill, 2018 (HB. 89)
which was being sponsored by Hon. Faruk Abdullahi);
the House also regazetted the Electoral Act
(Amendment) Bill, 2018 (HB. 966) and sponsored by
Hon. Karimi Steve Sunday and 7 others.
The controversial amendment Bill to the Electoral Act
was rejected by the President last week.
But Namdas, while briefing newsmen last week, said
the House agreed with the President on two, out of
the three reasons given for withholding assent to the
Bill.

with the intention to remove the two controversial
clauses raised by Buhari.

Police Procurement Fund Establishment Bill, the
Currency Conversion (Freezing Orders) Act

What is the job of NSCDC? Why can't they incorporate whatever assigned job for peace corp to civil defence. This is mere waste of resources. |
