The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill to make the Peace Corps of Nigeria a government agency to be run as a Para-military organization.

The Senate and the House of Representatives had separately passed the bill last year.

 

The senators passed the bill based on an advice by the committee on judiciary, human rights and legal matters.

Before passing the bill, the upper legislative chamber adopted a conference committee report on the bill.

The Bill will now be sent to the presidency for harmonization.
