The reason behind the NYSC program is to allow graduates of tertiary Institutions to give back to society in their little way.



It is why you see them working in the local government offices, public schools, even during election period you see them assisting with voters registrations.





Reasons why NYSC Should Be Extended To Three Years



1 Lack Of Employment

Nigeria in a state where unemployment is making a mockery of our able youths.

According to Aljazeera website, Nigerians unemployed are 55.4 percent at the of over 15-35.

It is tragic to spend all those years in school and still come out looking for a job.

But with the NYSC, the government provides a place for you where you can stand for sometime, some Corpers get lucky to recieve salaries where they are posted.



2 End To Tribalism

The transfer of corpers across the states have given a lot of individuals a taste of Nigeria's great heritage.



An Igbo corper posted to a Yoruba region will get to understand how things work over there and with time learn to accomadate their differences.



But with One year, that cannot be acheived.



3 Thirty-Three Thousand Naira Allowance

Some NYSC Corpers who passed out this year aren't happy, deep down they know that money went a long way in assisting them.



You might say they have recieve something to help them step into the society, but have you done the maths?



How far can 33,000 Naira take you in one year in another mans land?.



If they were able to save upto three years, am sure most of them will be their own bosses after Youth Service.



What do you think, is this a good idea?

Let me know if you have anything against it in the comment session.

You just stated what you feel it's good,let's wait for the nlanders wey Sabi...but for me the points Sha make sense but that shouldn't be a criteria for making the service year longer than it ought to,trust naija youths on this...

If it's that long, many corpers will get job and won't exit the payroll.

The sole purpose of nysc has been defeated let's at least tell ourselves the truth. Credit the accounts of prospective Corp members with the total sum of their 12months service salary at one pay out, let those who want to start business start business with it, those who want to japa can japa, those who want to further their education can also do same..

The rate at which some randy corpers impregnate young community girls is more reason to either abolish the program or shorten it to 6 months.

3 years of youth service will make Nigeria challenge China's population within 9 years.

How many corpers impregnate students or community girls? In each set if it is too high maybe 50 or 100 compared to the over 20-30k corpers in each set.

A very good opinion too �

Nah I'm not in support, I recently missed a job opportunity because of discharge certificate, so 3 years is too much biko

CAPITAL NO

3 years
Doing what exactly

With all these "I can't kill myself-attitude that most Corps members exhibit"

Considering the lazy ones, it'd be a waste of money on the part of the govt. And it'd be a bad luck to many who could have secured a better job.
