Kemi Busari has written an interesting piece in this week's Nigerian Bulletin Weekly (NB Weekly 5). See below:

The National Youth Service Corps was birthed in 1973 during the military regime of General Yakubu Gowon. The scheme was conceived as a strategy to encourage cultural integration in the aftermath of the civil war.

These criticisms range from poor health management of corps members to inadequate welfare, and recently, the death cases in orientation camps. Several calls have been made for a review or total eradication of the scheme.
