The Senate, on Thursday, began moves to establish an agency that would rehabilitate, deradicalise and integrate repentant Boko Haram insurgents in the country.
A bill that would create the agency was read for the first time on the floor of the Senate on Thursday.
The bill named “National Agency for the Education, Rehabilitation, De-radicalization and Integration of Repentant Insurgents in Nigeria (Est, etc) Bill, 2020” was sponsored by former Yobe Governor, Senator Ibrahim Geidam, representing Yobe East Senatorial District.
