This is a precarious situation. Never has it been heard of that the FG are unable to mobilize PCM until now. Everybody is calling DG's number, Senator Ogba's number, hmmmm Abeg NOBODY GET BUHARI NUMBER? The problem is not with NYSC, I am not holding brief for them but, with the information we have at our disposal, THE MINISTERS FINANCE, BUDGET & PLANING AND THE PRESIDENCY are the culprits in this case. Imagine, a country where ministers cannot oblige an official summon by the senate house committee on youth & sport.
Honestly, those in stream 1 were if I must say lucky because their journey to camp was on the fading wheels of GEJ's 2015 budget. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THE REST OF US ARE UNFORTUNATE, PLS DONT GET IT WRONG. This is so because, 2016 budget did not capture provision for NYSC, the figure being around 13billion naira. We are told, IT WAS SCRAPPED. That means, FG had no plan whatsoever to host any of the NYSC batches this year. The 13billion naira NYSC fund that was scrapped is not just for batch A'16, but all NYSC batches for 2016.
Well, if they can scrap the funds for NYSC, it should also be very easy & convenient for them to scrap the scheme & allow us print NYSC discharge or Exemption certificates, stating boldly & clearly that it is due to the INABILITY OF THE FG TO FUND THE SCHEME FOR 2016.
The level of confusion NYSC is exhibiting now is a true reflection that our struggles & pressure is having an effect. Let us not relent, let us keep pushing, one day Nigeria will be great again!


This is my personal view, contributions & constructive criticism is welcomed.
Thanks!
