This followed the adoption of a Point of Order raised by Sen. Dino Melaye during plenary.
Relying on Order 43 of the Senate rules, Melaye urged the Senate to revisit the bill with a view to veto the president if he failed to rescind his rejection of the bill.
It would be recalled that President Buhari cited duplication of duty and funding challenges in declining assent to the Nigerian Peace Corps (Establishment) Bill, 2017 recently passed by the National Assembly.
However, Melaye said that the bill should be given priority by Mr President.
``The same thing happened when the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence (NSCDC) was to be established, there was also the same complain that there was no money and all of that.
``But today we can see the advantages of the civil defence and how they have helped in safeguarding the government infrastructure.
``5.5 billion dollars was borrowed from euro bond; what part of it will the youths of this country benefit from.
``1 billion dollars is to be spent on security and how does this affect the youths of this country.
``Without fear or favour, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 16 years borrowed N6 trillion and this government in three years have borrowed N11 trillion but there is no specific programme that will empower the youth.
``Also N500 billion was earmarked for the social investment programme of the Federal Government but we have not seen any impact.
``If the Peace Corps is given an opportunity to exist, thousands will be employed and this will help to fight unemployment in this country.
``We may need to write Mr president to review his position if not we have the power on behalf of the Nigerian youths who voted us to veto him so that people will become the ultimate beneficiaries of this bill.
``The youth of this country must be given priority and they must be respected,’’ Melaye said.
