The House of Representatives, has on Thursday, dashed any hope of reviving the Peace Corps Bill, which could have offered many Nigerians the opportunity of being employed.
The move by the House of Representatives to override President Muhammadu Buhari’s veto on the Peace Corps Bill failed woefully, on Thursday.
The bill sought to turn the Peace Corps, currently a Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO, into a Government Para-Military Agency.
The bill, which had been passed by the National Assembly, was rejected by President Buhari, who refused to sign it into law.
However, some Lawmakers had planned to veto the President’s rejection.
Nonetheless, on Thursday, the bill failed to pass the second reading at the House of Representatives.
The bill was sponsored by Emmanuel Orker-Jev (APC, Benue State).
