Fine.. Since you want to debate it let me engage you;

Our universities rarely prepare our graduates to be self sufficient. The economy is shut as it is with many Companies cutting more jobs than they are employing. Many of our graduates are straight up unemployable. We have a very dependent mentality in our graduates such that they graduate looking for white and blue collar jobs. Well the economy can't accomodation the number of graduates we turn out yearly.. Maybe if they learnt some technical skills and applied themselves, they may be able to be self sufficient and not dependent on getting minimum wage jobs just to keep head above water. And mind you, no acquired skill is a waste. With the many years graduates spend applying for jobs, 1 year of technical training isn't too much to acquire a skill that would last you a lifetime.

Feel free not to acquire any of the skills on offer by the Corp but then you must enrol in a one year compulsory para military training and be placed as a reserve of the Nigerian Army that can be called up at any time.


Finally.. Don't just shut down my point without proffering a solution.. Makes you come across as a knob.

CoCoLav:
Some schools in Nigeria depend on corpers all year round so scrapping NYSC is not tenable.

ULSHERLAN:

You may be right

Mogidi:
Any time "Sai Buhari hoodlums" go ballistic they usually look for NYSC members. It should be scrapped to deny Buhari supporters any more victim.

MadCow1: Rubbish yarns..


The scheme had a good plan but like with everything in this nation it has been destroyed by corruption and lack of dedicated workers.

The scheme exposed me to the side of this Nation that I would never have experienced from the comfort of my state.

The scheme should be rebranded to add value to our Graduates. Make the 1 year period into a proper paid skill acquisition programme/para - military program where graduates can pick from a variety of skill programs and Agricultural programs to enroll for and learn it for 1 full year. Upon graduation, the government can help the brilliant graduates who upon completion can come up with a solid business plan based upon the acquired skills to acquire low interest loans with special tax breaks and grants to set up industries to create more employment. Those who choose education can then be sponsored to Teaching colleges and absolved into our school system. Get Expatriates to set up Technical institutes in all States that would teach our graduates variety of skills from mechanics to manufacturing to agriculture to recycling to construction to name it..


The program had a brilliant plan but now it's just been crippled by corruption.

Fix the program not scrap it..

The Islamic Section of Nairaland is a Potential Security Hazard. They may be planning a Jihad there and we wouldnt know.
