Buhari Will Sign Peace Corps Bill by donc26(m): 5:00pm On Feb 22, 2018 |
Buhari will sign Peace Corps Bill -Senator Ohuabunwa By Yemi Itodo The Senator representing Abia North in the National Assembly, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, has assured Nigerian youths that President Muhammad Buhari would gladly assent to the Bill establishing Nigerian Peace Corps. The Bill, which was overwhelmingly supported and passed at the National Assembly last year was submitted to the presidency for assent on 27th December 2017. Though the President has remained mute on whether he would sign the Bill or not, but a headline from a Nigerian newspaper generated heat on Saturday, suggesting that the President may have refused to append his signature. Reacting to the rumour on Wednesday, Senator Ohuabunwa said the President has no reason not to sign the Bill, saying it is people's Bill which tends to create employment. "Speaking to the fact, I don't really see the President withholding his assent. This is the people's bill. This is a bill that will create employment for the youth and remember, when we were discussing insecurity, I made an allusion to the fact that, even this young men and women can be trained as intelligent officers like we have seen. Security now has gone beyond matchet and guns, we need a lot of intelligence, technology. "These guys can be trained and I think this is also an avenue to reduce not only employment, but even underemployment. I want to believe that the President will jump at this and definitely assent to this Bill", he said. The lawmaker also emphasised that the National Assembly could exercise its constitutional powers to override the President should he refuses to assent to the Bill. He said, "if the contrary happens, there is always a channel of communication, he will send it back to us then we definitely know what to do from there. "I don't want to preempt, but if it is true the President has withheld his assent, then we have our statutory responsibility either to veto or override the President veto", Ohuabunwa added. The lawmaker also frowned at the continuous siege on the office of the Corps by the Nigeria Police, saying he was misinformed that the Police had vacated the office, otherwise, he would have moved a motion to that effect on the floor on Wednesday. He, however, said he would not hesitate to bring the matter up to the knowledge of his colleagues, should the Police continue to lay siege on the office in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of Peace Corps of Nigeria, Patriot Millicent Umoru, has said the national headquarters of the Corps located at Jabi, Abuja, was still under lock and keys, contrary to the rumour that the Police had vacated the premises. Umoru while addressing newsmen on Wednesday, said despite the two court orders given recently and the directive of the House of Representatives that Police should unseal the office, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Sadiq Bello, pleaded last week that the office would be open within 7 days, but the status quo has remained up till the 7th day. "This promise was made last week Thursday and till now, the office is still under lock and key. "We were there today and it was confirmed that the police men are still there and the van is still stationed there so there is no indication that they are even ready to leave as at the time we went there", the PRO said. As peace loving and non violent organization, Umoru said the Corps would return to the National Assembly "and pass the information to them that up till now, the place is still sealed up." http://dailypost.ng/2018/02/22/buhari-will-sign-peace-corps-bill-senator-ohuabunwa/ |

My peoples, let look at what we are facing in the country nowadays, what are the aims of established peace corps of Nigeria ,let forget about who to fund them their is money in this country. Out of there aims is to eradicate crime form primary school to tertiary institution, Neighborhood watch, employment for the youth etc out of those parliamentary they mention above which one is carried out these assignments. We needs security in all our institutions let look at want happen in chibok, now yobe, issues of Fulani herdsmen are they not all these mentioning parliamentary who can tackle or alert them on time, don't let us be bias on this issue. We are talking about my and your own live not politician because they have security protecting them already. |

donc26: Between you and I, who sounds more miserable?? SMH You really think I have to be high up the food chain to be objective on an issue? Or you just can't picture someone saying something without sentiments? Face the facts, we don't need another paramilitary agency, we have too many already. Civil defence for example is neither here nor there: duplicating police functions. If both Nigerian leadership and followership hadn't failed monumentally, we won't be debating if this was a good way of creating jobs. 4 Likes |
Re: Buhari Will Sign Peace Corps Bill by samsard(m): 6:27pm On Feb 23, 2018 |
K2asure:But these things you just mentioned sound more like police functions, and we have civil defense already literally laying around doing nothing. At least you're making a case for your point of view, these other guys simply attack anyone with a differing view. 1 Like |

samsard:maybe u should reconsider ur views on the said duplication of dese agencies in Nigeria as they exist bearing different names in progressive countries. A major issue here is security. Don't see why more agencies to tackle them will raise too much negative feedbacks. |
