I have a complaint against the NYSC organization. I am a prospective corps member (PCM) of NYSC batch A 2016. It is no longer news that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is set out to frustrate and degrade the lives of youths and graduates in Nigeria. On 8th of February online registration commenced for the 2016 NYSC Batch A orientation course scheduled to commence on the 2nd of march, after the registration however, NYSC

time-table was changed and orientation camp postponed to 30th of march and subsequently 1st of April, most of us tendered our resignation letters to our employees as we were assured the date was not going to be tempered with again, few days to the anticipated date, the course was postponed yet again to the 27th of April to print our call-up letter on the 21st of April and no excuse whatsoever was given.
Yet all prospective corps members waited patiently. The due date (21st of April) finally arrived to print our call up letters, admist confusion and tension PCM's were unable to print out their call-up letters only to be informed 24hours later by NYSC that not all corp members were in stream 1; and that 27th of April was scheduled for stream 1 corps members and 21st of May was slated for stream 2 corps members.
Most Prospective corp members got an unusual message, 'because you are not in stream 1, you will be notified when to print your call-up letter'. Others got the message 'you are to print your call up letter for the 13th to 21st of may 2016'. In other words 21st of may was the new date slated for Batch A stream 2 corp members, that is; one month after Batch A stream 1 printed their call-up letters. Yet again stream 2 PCM's waited patiently.

Few days ago stream 1 passed out from camp and the due date for printing call up letter for stream 2 arrived (13th of May), NYSC sent random messages to some corps members informing them to start printing on the 14th of May, and few minutes later were resent a message 'sorry, you cannot print your call-up letter, you will be informed when to print your letters in due course'.
No formal update has since been published by NYSC on their site to explain the reasons for the unusual procastinations, corp members who haven't gotten messages have since been in denial by NYSC. On the 14th there was an update on NYSC social media account notifying us our letters will be ready later that day but yet again it was another empty promise. This is 16th of may and there is still no press release or official statement by NYSC for us to go ahead and print our call-up letters.
NYSC has denied rumours of postponement but rumours reaching batch A stream 2 corp members is that Batch A stream 2 is now Batch B to leave in July or November which will be 5-9months after we are supposed to be in camp for the scheme.
NB: We have patiently waited for NYSC till date, some of us since 2014. We are unable to get decent Jobs to sustain ourselves and our families or further our studies because we do not have NYSC dispatch certificates, youths have been forced to stay idle, wasting precious time waiting for the scheme, so many resigned from their petty jobs all because we were eager to serve our fatherland.
How long will we continue to wait? IT IS EITHER WE ALL (BATCH A STREAM 2) CORP MEMBERS LEAVE ON 21ST OF MAY or OUR DISPATCH CERTIFICATE IS ISSUED TO US or WE ARE DEPLOYED TO OUR VARIOUS STATES OF DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT ORIENTATION CAMP AND GIVEN PLACES OF PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT if funds are insufficient.
The hardship in Nigeria is unbearable and it will be utmostly inhumane to punish the youths and leaders of tommorrow by promising them to continue waiting for an incompetent organization and a failed scheme that is not in the best interest of Nigerian youths. We can no longer wait for NYSC to determine the course of our future. We use this medium to call on all Nigerians and youth advocates to tell ourstory to the world #letnigeriahearourcry #NYSCbatchAstream2 #NoPostponement #ReleaseOurCallupLetter

NYSC should please do the needful oh. Even though the labour market will increase in size it is better than delayed service.

The most annoying parr of it all is that they have not communicated anything to anyone.
A least they should release a statement as regards the delay rather than delaying people's future unnecessarily.
What a country indeed...

They are just so insensitive that they don't even put individuals schedule into consideration. I mean we all have our life planned out and they are there making choices that doesn't suit or better still delay our progress. Some of us can't further our education while some can't get a job cause of their certificate... This is all just not making sense.....most of us feel useless at home as some even question if truly you graduated......... *Nysc, time and age isn't on pause just so you know*

my own case is very pathetic, I have given out most of my property and sold some at give away prices cos I was so sure am leaving for camp by. satday. I even told d landlord am moving out latest by Friday and he has given d house out to someone else who has fully paid me in advance. I have also quit my job last week. this leaves me without a job, a place to stay and no property. chai! Nysc ti kpa mi oooo

The 2016 budget was slashed by 40 percent
– This action has affected the batch ‘A’ stream
2 of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
– The Director- General of NYSC said series of
letters have been sent to that effect to
President Muhammadu Buhari and some
Ministers on these issues
Sule Kazure
The mobilization of batch ‘A’ stream 2 of National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) might be crippled due
to cash crunch as their allocation in the 2016
budget has been slashed by 40 percent.
This was hinted on Monday, May 16, by Sule
Kazaure , the Director- General of NYSC, during
an interactive session with Senate committee on
sport and youth development.
He said letters have been written to the minister
and President Muhammadu Buhari on the issue
but the agency has not received favourable
response as the batch is scheduled to resume on
Friday, May 20.
He added that despite series of efforts, the
required money for the exercise has not been
provided by the federal government.
However, Kazure expressed dissatisfaction
that the request for the funds were forwarded to
its supervising Minister, the Minister of budget
and National Planing, Minister of finance and the
presidency but yet to receive response up till
now.
Mr. Adeleke Ademola, the director of finance,
also agreed with Kazure that series of letters have
been written to the Minister and Buhari but no
response.
Obina Ogba, the chairman of the committte
however assured that a meeting between the
Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Budget and
National Planing and NYSC to address the issue
will be organised.
He also revealed that the budget of the Ministry
is short by N13 billion.
Recall that Bukola Saraki had reportedly turn
down Presidency request to manipulate the
contents of the 2016 budget through the
backdoor.
The controversy caused a major stir as the
presidency revealed new list of development
projects removed or distorted from the budget
by the Senate
