    Bill seeking to scrap NYSC reaches second reading in House of Reps

    The House of Representatives proposes bill seeking to scrap the National Youth Service Corps as it reached the second reading.

    The bill titled Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Alteration Bill, 2020, is sponsored by a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker from Rivers state, Awaji-Inombek Abiante.

    Giving the reasons why NYSC should be scrapped, he said,”For children of the rich, how many of them would want to go to Sokoto or Yobe? It is still the children of the poor that are sent to those places (where) they are butchered.

    “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 at their places of primary assignment and in transit.”

    He added that public and private agencies in the country are no longer employing qualified graduates.

    “Public and private agencies and 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,” he added.
