The Senate on Tuesday finally passed a bill to make the Nigerian Peace Corps a para-military agency.

The Senate adopted the conference report on the bill to establish the Nigerian Peace Corps, after it was so advised by its committee on judiciary, human rights and legal matters.

Both the Senate and the House of Representatives had separately passed the bill last year.

However, after the harmonisation of the two separate bills, the Senate had rejected the harmonised version, which has now been approved.

The bill will be sent to President Muhammadu Buhari for assent after the House also approves the harmonised version.

It is not clear if the presidency will approve of the bill as several departments in the executive including the police and the military are opposed to the legalisation of the Peace Corps which is currently a private NGO.

IPOB

What is this one saying?

Nigerians from every part of the country will apply for Peace Corps when or if PMB approves and signs that Bill...

Accept this info at your own peril.

Another Avenue to bloat the system. We have the Police, Civil defence and now the peace corps. We have the FRSC, VIO and sort.. Why the duplication of Duty? Is better to absorb the competent ones to the police and use the resources to fund infrastructural development that will create more jobs and economic stability..

What purpose will these new guys serve that isn't already covered by the many other agencies and corps around?
