federal government of Nigeria has denied the rumour of scrapping the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
There were reports that the scheme, which was established since 1975 by then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd), has been scrapped by President Muhammadu Buhari, alongside post-UMTE.
However, the presidency described the story as unfounded and legally illogical.

“NYSC is a creation of the law. Only another law can repeal it,” Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity said while reacting to the rumour.

Fake news. Where was it said and to which journalist?

I woke up this morning to hear the "Rumola".

Its like there are some syndicate groups in this country that spread rumours all over.

That is not the reason I said the news was fake. A credible news should state where it was said, on what occassion and to whom.

However, I have always suggested the scrapping of the scheme because it has lost relevance.

NYSC was introduced ONLY to promote national unity and integration, but it is not working. That we are ONE NIGERIA is only on paper. More so, corpers from other tribes were particularly targeted during violence and elections by their host tribes/communities.

Regrettably, graduates are presently being kept at home because of the corruption that has rendered the commission bankrupt.

Imagine having your degree result yet you can't get a job because of one useless NYSC certificate that adds no value.
