Aren't you like 30 years late? The scheme is called National YOUTH service corp for a reason. Surely you don't see yourself as a youth and even if you are deluded, the NYSC bye laws states that you have to be 30 or below to serve.

Are you saying you want to break another law?

Unfortunately for you, you can apply for exemption cos you graduated before 30. Ntooor....

Just say bye bye to your political career.

Adebayo Shittu, Minister of Communication, has said it would be his pleasure to participate in the National Youth Service Scheme (NYSC).

The minister, who was recently screened out of participation in the governorship primary of the party, for not participating in the NYSC scheme, had earlier insisted that he didn't need the certificate since he had done "higher service" in the Oyo State House of Assembly.However, on the programme, State Affairs, which was a interview by Edmund Obilo, recorded on Tuesday, Shittu said he would be willing to participate in the scheme.

Asked if he would be ready to participate in the NYSC scheme, he said: "Of course, I would go. It would be a pleasant thing to go. After I'm a governor by the grace of God."

He also said he would be ready to serve wherever he was posted, stating that "I'll serve in any place, if it becomes necessary for me to go."

When asked if he would still participate in the NYSC scheme, even if he doesn't become governor, he said: "If it becomes necessary, I will. Courts would have to decide whether serving in the House of Assembly and being minister is not superior and does not replace service in the NYSC."

The law does not say you must be less than 30 to serve. It only says you are bound to serve if you graduated before turning 30. The service can take place at any time, even at the age of 80 so long as you graduated before the age of 30. So, yes...he can partake in the NYSC programme now.

This one with beards like a terrorist wan serve where?

You and others that thought not serving was a smart thing to do,have learned your lessons the hard way.

You should carry your cross,and stop seeking for pity from us. You have been disqualified,and that's it.

Nuzo1:
This man is the most arrogantly ignorant human being I've ever heard talk.

It's even shocking to know that he's a lawyer, ex legislator and a serving minister in a very important ministry.

I feel like crying.

tammie24:
You can never be governor of my state

I am a fresh lawyer, currently residing in the East and serving there too.

I will be rounding off NYSC in a month's time and deciding on the next step to take or where to settle down has been hanging on my neck like an albatross.



I have been thinking myself to stupor in the past one year consequent upon which I have lost zeal in innumerable things.


There is pressure on me to raise funds because of younger siblings and other family issues.


Working in a law firm doesn't seem to be an option as most pay a pittance. It can be abysmally frustrating.


I am wondering if there are other things I could to make extra income.

Again, I am considering settling down in Onitsha, Awka or Enugu. Enugu is my home state though.

Or leaving the East for Abuja or Lagos.

I have been indecisive respecting this and it weighs me down.



All responses especially from lawyers too will be appreciated.
