Anyway, an opportunity for GEJ to shine; issues like this should be seriously protested and I trust Johnny to reverse this and claim some lost glory [/quote] WTF

Next week now, NANS president would organise some hungry jobless youths to go pay the director a solidarity visit and to thank him for the #4,000 charge!

Sagamite: £15 to print a letter?

So public officials signed a contract with a private entity to provide a service to the public (that was previously free and should be free) that leads to the people having to pay the private entity for at extortionate and criminal prices.

Pendusky, come and pray for your leaders.

Products of a failed education system....huh?

Is hightime we put a stop to all this nonsense

omenka: Fraud has been officially legalised under Jonathan's regime!! This administration if the worst thing that has happened to this country after Boko Haram. Everybody stealing like frenzied killer whales or piranhas!!

God forbid!!

If you don't have anything meaningful to say while not keep mute instead of embarrassing yourself.

chemystery: NYSC is like blood money. They give you 19,800 and milk it all away through useless means

true talk

[size=18pt]I don't blame all the crooks and rogues running this racket called the NYSC that should have been scrapped long ago. I blame the immature and insecure graduates who think they need the NYSC to get jobs and succeed in Nigeria.
You don't need the NYSC to get jobs and succeed in your careers.
More jobs have been created by self employed entrepreneurs and others than all the government jobs in Nigeria.

The entire NYSC scheme is a scam by the corrupt mafia of government contractors in the corridors of power who have been sharing all the billions of naira from producing and supplying the NYSC kits for decades and the yearly allocations are the reasons why they have insisted on keeping the NYSC and not for patriotic responsibilities. God knows that these corrupt government officials and their accomplices are not patriotic citizens of Nigeria, because no patriotic citizen will misappropriate public funds as these corrupt public officials are doing.
The NYSC has been abused and misused and turned into an institution of corruption and not patriotism.

When you see the horrible and terrible conditions at the various camps, you will weep for Nigeria.
Imagine 50 corps members in one room!
No toilets and no regular power and water supply for personal hygiene and general sanitation.
And many corps members have become ill and even dying without any medical or life insurance.
They are exposed to hazards with risks everyday when they should be given regular means of transportation to protect and secure their precious lives while in service of the nation.
What has the government done for the NYSC members who suffer injuries and even lose their lives during service?
How many of them have been given emergency rescue in critical life threatening conditions and situations?
How many of them get jobs from the government after service?
While the children of these rich political contractors in power get privileges that make them bosses within a short time, the graduates from poor families often struggle to get jobs for their survival and welfare in Nigeria.

What has Nigeria gained from the NYSC?
Majority of the worst corrupt public officials learned nothing from their NYSC service?
They only learned how to be as corrupt as their government administrators running this national scam.
You will know how evil and greedy these political contractors in power are when you see how they contest and fight over contracts for procurement of NYSC supplies.
They don't have the fear of God.

The billions of naira wasted on running the NYSC are enough to build industries to create hundreds of thousands of jobs for Nigerian graduates to be gainfully employed and be secure to join in the nation building of a New Nigeria in the leadership of Africa. [/size]

olasmith10: they will probably give sketchy details trying to justify the #4000 expenditure.. but we know the truth.

Bros u don dey do u NYSC registration for unilorin?

Democrazy means government of elites, against the people!

Milking the nation and its people dry since 2009!

Nigeria has over 1.8m students in High education institutions. Of these 1.1m are in universities.

So the country internally generates (i.e excludes those that study abroad) at least 200K new graduates a year who qualify for NYSC.

Lets say about only 95% of these graduates decide to do NYSC, that is 190K students.

Each graduate paying N4,000 to print a letter would mean a total revenue of N760m per year that this criminal firm and their co-thieves in NYSC would make.

That is roughly £3m a year these crooks will make in the first year and there are more years to come.

How much would it have cost to purchase the infrastructure from a software firm and buy paper to print?

CRIME!

Pendusky's leaders keep robbing them, destroying their lives and leading them to pastors for prayers, who would then rob them more.

These are the criminals that are looting Nigeria's students:

Mr. Michael A Olajide - Chairman of SIDMACH




Mr. Hassan U. Alao - MD of SIDMACH




Mr. Adedayo P.S Arogundade - ED of SIDMACH




​Mr. Chijioke A. Eke - ED of SIDMACH




Mrs Eno Samuel Udofia - Non-ED of SIDMACH




Brigadier-General Johnson Bamidele Olawumi - DG of NYSC

I will never serve no fatherland, I just can't, my service makes no sense

HOW much longer can Nigerians endure
insensitivity and oppression by their own
government? This is the pertinent question as the
vicious cycle of government departments and
agencies revelling in a culture of impunity
continues, especially for the simple reason that
the administration of President Goodluck
Jonathan has for ever looked the other way. While
the citizens are abused and dehumanised, not
once has such insensitivity attracted any
sanction, hence the culture reigns.
The newly introduced policy of money-for-call-
up letters imposed through a dubious biometric-
enabled on-line registration of prospective corps
members requesting each to pay N4,000 is the
latest of such indefensible, insensitive, illogical
and most irresponsible plans ever contemplated
by any government. As planned by the
management of the National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC), the scheme is the height of insensitivity
to the plight of the average Nigerian youth
already traumatised by a poor but rigorous
education system and who even face a bleak
future in the labour market. To facilitate payment,
a prospective corps member is directed to use
“any bank’s ATM card or the PIN vending option”.
Participants have an option of online registration
or collection of letter from school this current
year but the enforcement of N4000 payment
option starts next year with ‘Batch A’. By any
logic, it cannot and should not stand. President
Jonathan must today order the immediate
reversal of this scam.
In saner environments, the extortionist tendency
of public officials is enough to cost a government
re-election. The country is gradually inching
towards an era of the youth standing up for their
rights in a civilized way if the leaders are leading
them as they are, on a mission to nowhere.
Barely six months ago, the world was shocked
by the avoidable death of scores of enterprising
graduates across the country spearheaded by the
Ministry of the Interior through a scandalous
recruitment exercise credited to Nigeria
Immigration Service (NIS) that was hardly
intended to recruit genuine applicants among the
more than 700,000 candidates who reported at
the suffocating centres to write tests. Many were
trampled to death, many more suffocated to
death. Months after, the minister and his
collaborators are still on their seats. That was not
the first incident of NIS job-hunting centre made a
death zone. A Comptroller- General was earlier
forced into retirement on similar grounds.
What the NYSC has just embarked on is a
dangerous, fraudulent journey that must be
terminated immediately. The simple deduction is
this: whoever initiated the scam is not fit and
proper to be in the service of the Federal
Government. This brazen robbery aimed at self-
aggrandizement by some public officials must be
the last by NYSC or any other public agency for
that matter.
It is doubly sad that the NYSC had the audacity
to even advertise its bizarre, fraudulent intention
to extort money from poor graduates who
struggled through school and are just trying to
find their feet. The on-line registration charge is a
serious national embarrassment. What could be
more than the ridicule the management is
subjecting itself to, rationalising the plan by
saying it will create opportunity to print multiple
call-up letters by corps members (in case of loss
or damage) and make them enjoy “accelerated
camp orientation processing” at the orientation
camps. What a warped thinking in the 21st
century! Is this not a tacit admission of a
cumbersome procedure the agency had been
subjecting corps members to in all of 41 years of
the scheme’s existence.
For a scheme in which the Federal Government
picks all bills, what exactly forced the NYSC
management into this, or better still, what does
the management plan to do with the hundreds of
millions of naira to be raised every year at an
average of 100,000 enlistments? It is certainly
bizarre for anybody to make it mandatory for
Nigeria’s sons and daughters to pay to serve
their country.
Also, from where did the NYSC management
derive the legal cover to charge the fee? There is
a law that established the scheme, so any
alteration to the service operations ought to also
follow an established due process. The NYSC is
challenged to make public the due process it
followed before the irrational decision. Or, is the
government weary of funding the scheme and has
found a convenient way to get the agency itself
fill the gap? Nigerians deserve an explanation on
this underhand deal.
So much effort has been made by critics of the
scheme in the past to justify the scheme’s
cancellation, an argument that has often been
countered by the nobility of the scheme and its
original intention as a unifying power in a large
and diverse nation. Now, the NYSC is further
playing into the hands of those who believe it has
outlived its usefulness.
Suffice to say that nothing, absolutely, nothing
must be done to derail the lofty dreams of the
founding fathers to promote unity and cultural
unification enforced through Decree No. 24 of
May 22, 1973. The scheme has served and is still
serving a useful purpose. If there are gaps in its
operations now, all stakeholders can meet and
consider a review. Turning it into a commercial
venture, even an exploitative one that feeds off
the vulnerability of innocent Nigerian children,
however, is unacceptable. www.ngrguardiannews.com/opinion/editorial/178550-paying-to-serve-the-nation-nysc-s-insensitivity

yokiti: Are they saying there is no allocation provided for this by the government?
Just like the #2000 imposed on international passport applicants by Nigerian Immigration service Abba Moro ( minister for interior) for address verification.
Nigeria government and officials have been scamming Nigerians since time immemorial.

. . . Yeah! A verification pRoject in conjuction with Greater washington lOgistics (post). There is problem in this country

The government would not have tried this with students of the 80's and 90's.

Please keep off my mentions.

Ndi oshi- ndi oshi

GEJ should direct them to stop this criminal act................ or i will assume the money is for his re-election rising found..

mbulela: I have been begging for this lousy program to be scrapped.
It has out lived its usefulness.

When the graduates boycott it, the government will scrap it.

retepmurt: NATIONAL Youth Service Corps, NYSC, yesterday, explained that the N4,000 fee imposed on prospective corps members for printing of call-up letters on-line was for services and infrastructure to be deployed by the collaborating firm.

Director General of NYSC, Brig-General Jonhson Olawumi, said the money was neither for the scheme nor the corps producing institutions as it was being alleged by some quarters.

NYSC, in a bid to improve its operations in line with global cutting-edge technology, went into partnership with a private company, Messrs. SIDMACH Technologies Nigeria Limited, for the full computerisation of the mobilisation process.
