That is the bitter news for every serving youth Corps member and graduates hoping to be mobilized for the NYSC scheme one day.

If you belong to any of the two categories above and you interpret your Call-Up for NYSC as a call for National Service, then you are wrong. DON'T be carried away, don't live in the past, upgrade and reboot your mind. There is no more National Youth Service. To know what you have, then read on.

Now, nothing is waiting after graduation and even after the so called service year.
Nothing valuable was forgone to embark on the one-year scheme.

Nowadays;
There are attempts to fake and be involved in the scheme - you mean youths want to lie to sacrifice?
Attempts to serve twice - attempting to sacrifice over and over? Funny.

The Reality
Its seen as an opportunity to get something and be engaged.
Now, it's more of a social safety-net that should even be upgraded.

Yes, the scheme is still running and is called "National Youth Service" but I advise that, if you have gotten the chance to be mobilized for NYSC, you should see yourself as a Corps member on a >>>

All said and done... The commandant is not far from the truth

Nigeria needs help. that is all i can say for now.

Even if the minimum wage is implemented the position above remains unchanged. Guys should plan harder to make the best of the incubation year.
