The National Commandant of the Nigerian Peace Corps, Prof. Dickson Akoh, yesterday appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the Nigerian Peace Corps Bill into law before May 29 as a parting gift for the Nigerian youths.

Akoh, who made the appeal in Abuja in his Sallah message, also urged the president to equally absorb Nigerian youths who participated in the exercise.

He explained that the bill, when signed into law, will create employment for the youths and also ensure total peace in Nigeria through mediation, conflict resolution and community engagement.

The Senate and House of Representatives had earlier passed the bill and it is currently before the President for assent.
