Senate passes Peace Corps bill

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

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 was adopted by the Senate.

The Senate and the House of
Representatives had separately passed the bill
last year, despite the much controversy and the opposition by the Federal government agencies.

After the passage of the bill by the Senate, President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to sign the bill into law.
