Senate pends nigerian peace corp bill
I think you meant to say "Senate passes Nigerian Peace Corps Bill".
Yes, that's correct. On July 24, 2018, the Nigerian Senate passed the Nigerian Peace Corps Bill, which aims to establish the Nigerian Peace Corps as a national agency responsible for promoting peace, security, and community development in the country.
The bill, which was sponsored by Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, was passed after a thorough debate and consideration by the Senate. The bill seeks to provide a framework for the establishment, organization, and administration of the Nigerian Peace Corps, as well as its powers, functions, and funding.
The Nigerian Peace Corps is expected to work closely with other security agencies, including the Nigerian Police Force, the Nigerian Army, and the Department of State Services, to promote peace and security in the country. The agency will also be responsible for providing training and capacity-building programs for young Nigerians, as well as promoting community development and social cohesion.
The passage of the Nigerian Peace Corps Bill is seen as a significant step towards promoting peace and security in Nigeria, and it is expected to contribute to the country's efforts to address the challenges of insecurity, poverty, and underdevelopment.
