Some Youth Corpers serving at the National Assembly have complained about the disgraceful way they are treated by members of the legislature.

Investigations by Punch News on Saturday revealed that most of the NYSC members were upset after discovering that serving at the National Assembly was neither rosy nor challenging, contrary to their expectations.

“Many of us here are attached to committees but there isn’t much to do. The committees hardly allow us to carry out any serious assignments; officials just treat us like errand boys.

“They seize the slightest opportunity to shout at us during committee assignments. It can get really embarrassing.” An angry male corper said, adding that members of committees had little regard for them.

Investigation also revealed that the National Assembly, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Central Bank of Nigeria and commercial banks topped the list of “lucrative and challenging” institutions corps members posted to Abuja prefer to serve in.

Another youth corper serving as an aide to a legislator said that the reason why some corp members want to serve at the National Assembly was because of the opportunity to work directly as aides to Senators or members of the House.

“The disappointment sets in when they find out that the place offers no more than serving in committees and departments already congested by civil servants on the payroll of the National Assembly.

“In the committees, they will be largely redundant except during meetings when they can serve tea, kola nuts or sweets,” the corper said.

It is almost a hopeless case for fresh graduates aspiring to work as legislative aides to senators or representatives because the lawmakers had given out such jobs to their relatives or friends.

But the National Assembly’s Director of Information and Publications, Mr. Monima Daminabo, dismissed the claim of maltreatment of corps members.

“The civil service is a disciplined and rule-guided system. Most of them came in largely untrained in the working of the parliament; so they need the assistance of superior officers to put them through. We have no tradition of discrimination in the National Assembly.

“Also, the authorities of the NYSC that posted them here have never reported to us that they received complaints from their corps members. So, if such cases exist, the authorities of the NYSC should know,” Mr. Daminabo said.

You guys just read my mind!

'This Week in Nigeria'-Former governor pleads guilty to $200m fraud accusations, Boko Haram strikes again, Increase in oil production & much more! Stay current, stay informed,

When the purpose of the Nigerian Graduates is unknown, then Abuse of all manner is inevitable! I'm not surprised not atall cuz even most of those corpers serving in civil service offices just go there to mark attendance and sleep all day yet over 70% of our resources are used in paying salaries, such is the "sick sense" style of government been run in Nigeria yet GEJ isn't reasonable enough to make any positive change rather he is even worse than those behind him.

I sure say a lot of the girls go dey service those thieves too in the bed/hotel department.

They want contract?

It is unfortunate that there is nothing a positive minded person can learn from a semi illiterate politician.

The solution to the poo in the civil service is for FG to do a massive retrenchment of all redundant workers and introduce proper performance appraisals. But will the NLC/TUC ever let that happen? Yet everyone blames GEJ. All the threats of OBJ to trim the civil service ended at the level of threats. Lets tell ourselves the truth jo! We are our own problem!

They also serve as Escort Girls at Senator Ali's quarters and it is rumored that Senator Kusa prefers Corper Jamiu (If you get my drift)

Shebi na them dey manipulate their way there expecting to join in the looting of the nation while some get posted to remote areas. Serves them right.

You people were still complaining make them ship una go one remote area wey you wouldn't smell network or any social amenities.

What did the NYSC members expect to do at National Assembly, making laws ? The girl went there for "prositution" and the boys went there to be "errand boys for money" or for "connection". They deserve what they get. An old girlfriend posted to National Assembly even need tfare to come meet me. Na then i know say water pass garri

E easy? They got what they bargain for. They got their through connections and lobbying. Serves them right

Lmao

They got served!

Most people doing their NYSC hardly get any valuable experience irrespective of where they were posted. Most of them end up as errand boys.

Trust girls, "I WORK in d National Assembly"


Abeg, doesn't it sound good? LOL!!!

LOl

NYSC shd be scrapped. its irrelevant in the present scheme of things. all graduated should go for one year compulsory productivity training/program. truth is more than half of nigerian graduate are not employable, several well meaning organization cant really employ them.

Young talents and brains that the country need to explore to better HER lot, make HER shine among comity of nations, She is under-utilizing. would we ever develop? Are these legislators serious? I just hope am not dreaming. I need to wake up to know that this is not happening,

sniperwolf:

They got served!

LOL

What do they really expect?

The ones who serve in the Local Governments are worse!!!!

that's what you call starting politics from the bottom
na wa oh

Is it wrong for someone older,richer,perhaps more educated than you to send you on errands?That members of the legislatures send corps members on errand is not an issue to be frowned at,at all.It all depends on the errand anyway but i know no members of the legislatures would be as wicked as to ask a corps member to flush the WC for him after using it.Don't fathers & mothers send their children on errand at home?Or what do the corps member expect,to take over the offices of membes of the legislatures or sit,eat & drink wine with them throughout their service year?As a starter you keep your eyes open but your mouth shut on whatever you see while climbing the ladder of your ambition because when you talk you loose concentration & fall of this ladder.
