The
highly contested Peace Corps bill, a proposed security outfit in
Nigeria has achieved tremendous success in the Senate as it seeks
endorsement.
Nigerian Senate on Thursday passed the Nigerian Peace Corps for a final reading.
The bill which seeks among other things, the establishment of the
Nigerian Peace Corps as an agency under the Ministry of Interior had
successfully passed through to the final reading.
"The Peace Corps has been functioning already we are only
providing it with a stronger frame work. We look forward to efficient
functionability in view of the scarce resources that we have and help in
youth unemployment" Senate President, Bukola Saraki said.
This has generated massive celebrations among stakeholders whose
lives have been placed on hold since undergoing training mid last year,
2016.
