The National Assembly has forwarded the harmonised version of the Nigerian Peace Corps (Establishment) Bill after passage by both chambers -the Senate and the House of Representatives to President Muhammadu Buhari for assent.

It was gathered on Thursday that the transmission of the bill for Presidential assent was done by the Clerk to the National Assembly, CNA, Sani Magaji Tambuwal on Wednesday this week via a letter written to that effect.

The letter, according to a highly placed source in the National Assembly, written on letterhead of the CNA, was dated 12th April, 2023 and directly addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari.
