President Muhammadu Buhari has explained why he ejected the proposed bill establishing Peace Corps of Nigeria.
Buhari’s explanation was contained in a letter read during plenary on Tuesday by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.
In the letter, Buhari cited security concerns and financial burden of funding the organisation by the government as his reasons for rejecting the bill.
The National Assembly had in 2015 passed the bill after a prolonged battle involving the organisation and the nation’s security agencies.
