Buhari reject peace corps news

You're referring to the recent news about President Muhammadu Buhari's rejection of the Peace Corps bill.

For those who may not be aware, the Peace Corps bill was passed by the Nigerian Senate in 2018, with the aim of establishing a national youth service program that would engage young Nigerians in community development and national service. The bill was sent to President Buhari for assent, but he declined to sign it into law.

The reasons for the President's rejection are not entirely clear, but it's been reported that he expressed concerns about the bill's potential impact on the existing National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, as well as the lack of clarity on the Peace Corps' role and responsibilities.

The Peace Corps bill had been a subject of controversy, with some critics arguing that it was unnecessary and would duplicate the functions of the NYSC. Others saw it as a way to engage more young Nigerians in national service and promote community development.

The rejection of the bill has been met with disappointment and frustration from many Nigerians, who see it as a missed opportunity to create more opportunities for young people and promote national development.

What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you think the Peace Corps bill was a good idea, or do you agree with President Buhari's decision to reject it?
