The Senate have passed the Nigerian Peace Corps Bill
into law, thereby giving approval for the establishment of the Nigerian Peace
Corps as an agency under the Ministry of Interior.
Presenting the report of the Committee on Interior on the
floor of the Senate, the committee chairman, Senator Bayero Nafada urged the
Senate to support the passage of the Bill, saying “the organisation will be of
great benefit to the Nigerian youths”.
“In response to increasing complexity of the factors
responsible for insecurity and the method by which peace and security is being
undermined in Nigeria, there is need to develop comprehensive, multi-sectoral,
multi stakeholders and inclusive approaches in order to stem these threats,” he
said.
