THE House of Representatives is considering discontinuation of the National Youth Service Corps scheme.

The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Alteration Bill, 2020, which is seeking to repeal the NYSC Act, is billed for the second reading.

The sponsor, Mr Awaji-Inombek Abiante, in the explanatory memorandum of the proposal, listed the various reasons why the NYSC should be scrapped.

It read in part, “This bill seeks to repeal Section 315(5)(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, (as amended) on the following grounds:Incessant killing of innocent corps members in some parts of the country due to banditry, religious extremism and ethnic violence; incessant kidnapping of innocent corps members across the country;

“Public and private agencies/departments are no longer recruiting able and qualified Nigerian youths, thus relying heavily on the availability of corps members who are not being well remunerated and get discarded with impunity at the end of their service year without any hope of being gainfully employed;

“Due to insecurity across the country, the National Youth Service Corps management now gives considerations to posting corps members to their geopolitical zone, thus defeating one of the objectives of setting up the service corps, i.e. developing common ties among the Nigerian youths and promote national unity and integration.”

They want to save money. For this small take home. Instead of us to go after our real problem.

They should also consider the amalgamation of the two British protectorates since no progress is being made as a country.

Increase their pay, security and post NYSC benefits to start a business

So small alawee wey person for dey use take hold body for 1 year this people 1 collect am too?

I don tire to dey live...no hope for the common man!

Very good. They should instead convert the 1year pay allowance and pay it once to qualified graduates to start up a business.

With the way service has been going since covid 19 it was only a matter of time.

Corpers skip ppa, many don't even reside in their posted state, man o war activities are now skipped and returned to

Sub-standard NYSC kits

Even in the NYSC orientation the only thing they do is matching as if they training for combat.

So that there will be no more 30k allerwe for graduates again!
