BREAKING: Peace Corps Bill Dies As Reps Refuse To Veto Buhari

The hope of thousands of Nigerian Youths in the peace corps has been dashed as the house of representatives refused to veto President Buhari.

The bill seeks to turn the Peace Corps,
currently a non-governmental organisation, into a government para-military agency.

The bill had earlier been passed by the
National Assembly but President Muhammadu Buhari refused to assent it.

Some lawmakers had planned to veto the president’s rejection.

At the sitting today, the bill failed to pass the second reading at the House of
Representatives.

The bill was sponsored by Emmanuel Orker-Jev (APC, Benue).
