N’Assembly Complex
... As NFIC Bill Passes Third Reading
By Muhammad Bello
The House of Representatives Tuesday directed the
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to suspend forthwith
its policy requiring prospective corps members to pay
N4,000 as registration fee before accessing their call-up
letters.
Prompted by a motion sponsored by Hon. Hassan Saleh
(PDP, Benue), it also instituted a probe into the alleged
fee
This is as the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Centre
(NFIC) bill passed third reading on the floor of the
House.
According to Saleh (PDP, Benue), the "recent advertorials
in some national newspapers that with effect from 2015,
corps members will be required to register online with a
fee of N4,000 to be able to access their call-up letters as
an alternative to their having to go to their various
schools to collect the letters."
He said "as laudable as the idea of sending call-up
letters though the internet may be, the decision requiring
fresh graduates to cough out N4,000 to access letters
appears insensitive and exploitative."
Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha, upon a petition by Hon.
Uzo Azubuike (PDP, Abia) that the public petitions'
committee he chairs was already working on the matter,
ruled that committee on youth development and the
sponsor of the motion be invited to be part of the panel
that will conduct a session on the matter.
