As consultation continues over the Nigerian Peace Corps Establishment Bill to some selected Federal Government Ministeries and Agencies, Peace Corps of Nigeria led by its founder and National Commandant, Prof. Dickson Akoh have visited the Honourable Minister of State for Education, Rt. Hon. Goodluck Nana Opiah.
The visit is meant to brief the ministry and the Honourable Minister over the state of the Nigerian Peace Corps Establishment Bill and also the role the Corps is expected to play in Educational Institutions.
The Minister assured of a good working relationship with the Corps upon eventual assent by Mr. President of the Nigerian Peace Corps Establishment Bill currently before him.
Upon presidential assent, the Corps is expected to function within educational institutions, neighborhood watch and many other functions outlined in the Nigerian Peace Corps Establishment Bill.
When assented by Mr. President, the Nigerian Peace Corps Establishment Bill is to solely give statutory backing to the already existing Peace Corps of Nigeria as evidently stated in the Harmonized copy of the bill currently before President Muhammad Buhari for his assent.
