Scrap or reform NYSC, Nigerians react

When I said scrap the mandatory NYSC, I knew exactly what I was saying. The scheme is now obsolete. And Traveling across Nigeria, is now one of the 1000 Ways to die. https://t.co/P6El432Ved

I’m all for scraping NYSC and all but if the government doesn’t come up with something that can ensure that young grads go dey see steady income then Nigeria will be worse off without NYSC.
From my few months serving, that 33k dey save many lives😂

Nothing techy about the NYSC. This is something that deserves being talked about. No one is talking about digital skills. Only left march, remove hair dress. Nobody is talking about investment plans. So bad people are even advised not to bring laptop. A gathering of youths. Lord.

I just hope they don’t replace NYSC with something worse.

I was going to ask if NYSC was trending because the act was to be repealed, turns out @HouseNGR was making moves to repeal the act, Good move IMO👍@MrSomoye would you be so kind to enlighten us if perhaps there are new provisions?pls

1. Cheap labour.
2. Cash cow for a lucky Brigadier General and other NYSC workers.
3. Source of income for perennial government contract chasers.

These are the vested interests why NYSC remains. Not the unity of Nigeria.

Scrap NYSC, SENATE, NPF, NA, NAF, NA, NSCDC, FRSC, NBC, CAC, NERC, REP, MDAs, etc

Scrap NYSC and scrap House of representatives both of them no more relevant.

I don't think we should be praying for the scrapping of NYSC. It's free money and also experiences if you know what you're doing. But, there are credible security concerns which our government should have addressed years ago. We may never understand its advantage till it’s gone.

In my opinion, Nysc shouldn’t be scrapped, it should just be reformed, so it can be impactful and beneficial at the same time. It might be looking like a silly thing and a complete waste of time but a fraction of people benefitted and found their footings from it

Calling insecurity and tensions as reason for scrapping NYSC is a lame reason, remember the post civil war was more tense and heated than this era yet NYSC was introduced then. All I can say is that the entire NASS majority didn't serve that's why they don't know the value
