Oyo State Commandant of Peace Corps of Nigeria, Patriot (Dr.) Oludare Adesina on Monday reacted to the decline of presidential assent to the bill seeking to make the organization a government approved agency by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Adesina in a statement made available to journalists declared that the President’s assent on the bill would have assisted in providing massive employment for the teeming Nigerian youths who were eager to serve their fatherland.
He, however, implored officers in the command to “remain calm and be optimistic” saying that “there is a second chance for the bill to be vetoed into law constitutionally by the 2/3 of the National Assembly”.
He emphasized that the bill would be advantageous to the present government whose electoral mandate is to create employment for the youths.
Adesina said “I would urge all Nigerian youths not to react negatively to the assent withheld to the NPC(Nigerian Peace Corps) Bill; though it has been hard but, let’s be of good cheer, hoping the NASS will do the rightful in no distance time.
“Peace Corps of Nigeria was warmly received representing Nigeria at the Administrative Staff College India for Enhanced Public Service Delivery which commenced Monday, 26th February, 2018″.
Adesina further stated that t”his is one of the major objectives of the organisation, to send potential youths for Leadership Development Programme which will help to develop the nation’s human capital and invariably contributing to the growth of the nation’s economy.”
