 A bill for an act to scrap the National Youth Service Corps NYSE, which was introduced in the House of Representatives, have elicited response. Sponsor of the bill, Awaji Nimbek Abyante, is seeking to repeal Section 315, Subsection 5A of the 1999 Constitution and the National Youth Service Corps Act. Plus, TV Africa's correspondent Jacinta Obyuku has more. Many fresh graduates earnestly desire to wear the National Youth Service Corps NYSE uniform. It is usually an honor to wear the khaki served once father learned then, and the corps members truly served with sincerity and honor. Well, that seems to be in the good old days in the 70s, 80s, 90s and even early 2000s. Now, the usefulness of the NYSE scheme has been called to question. According to the synopsis of the bill introduced by member and House of Representatives, Awaji Nimbek Abyante, who pointed out that incessant killing of innocent corps members in some parts of the country due to mandatory religious extremism, ethnic violence, incessant kidnapping of innocent corps members across the country justify the intent of the bill. Today, what do we have? Even with the challenges of ASU strike and all of it, some students spend as much as 8 to 9 years before the graduates, so far to be honest. And when they graduate, it is no longer automatic that we just walk in and answer. In some cases, people are kept on the queue for 2 to 3 years. You sum all of this up. By the time you are done with your studies, by the time you are done with the youth service, you are well over 25, 28 years. And most establishments will have it as a policy that you don't employ persons beyond setting age limits. There are challenges with this scheme, so whatever way it goes, it's going to be a win-win for everybody, but my stand is let us scrap it. A public analyst also gave his take on the bill. The answer is scrapping it, or you look for a way to redefine the use of the scheme. Now, if areas are challenged with respect to insecurity, then what do you do? Such areas, it does not mean insecurity will be there for forever. So you can, in the interim, alter the dynamics or the operational dynamics, I would say, of the scheme. Because a lot of youth coppers have gone to other parts of the country and never went back. They got married, they stayed there, and those are the things that have helped us to integrate as a nation. I don't think that the scheme should be scrapped. There are many things not working with it. Don't go the lazy way out, sit down, interrogate the process, and come up with a workable solution to it. Here is also some mixed reactions by some Nigerians across the streets of Lagos. About the month or so, I don't see any reason why any Nigerians should not be given the chance to serve their country. Scrapping NYC still doesn't solve the problem of insecurity, right? Letting it continue still doesn't solve the problem. The fact that you go to NYC doesn't guarantee you that you're going to have a very good job. So this also affords those going for the NYC to choose a better handwork to do. You cannot afford to finish sending your child to this school with all the suffering and all these things. They will come there to tell you that headsmen, whatever, Boko Haram, has come to eliminate their own children, not our own children anyway. NYC scheme was set up in 1973 by the Yakubu Goan administration as part of strategies to foster unity in the post-Civil War era. Jacinta Ubuku, for PLOS TV, Africa.
