 As the National Youth Service called herns 48 years since inception, COMP members in Lagos State commemorate this landmark anniversary with a unity march held at the Orientation Camp in Iannapadja area of Lagos. The NYC State Coordinator Edwin Megua, as well as COMP members highlight the positivity this game has brought to the national development and unity of Nigeria. Plus, TV Africa's correspondent Destiny Momor has more. This time around, it is not a traditional orientation camp march passed, nor the traditional passing out parade. It is for the existence of the NYS's scheme for almost half a century. As the COMP members marched in unity, it brought to the fore the purpose of the scheme which is primarily to inculcate in Nigerian youth the spirit of selfless service to the community and to emphasize the spirit of oneness and brotherhood of all Nigerians irrespective of cultural or social background. It's the unity march organized by the National Youth Service Corps as the National Youth Service Corps turns 48. As a lot of coppers poured out had broken moments of how they feel if the scheme will be scrapped, others poured the advantages that the scheme has brought to our national unity and national development. State coordinator and COMP members speak about the reason the scheme must continue against the backdrop of recent call for it to be scrapped. We are going through it as an entity and we should understand what is going on. I'm not calling for the for the scrapping of an institution like this that is helping the Nigerian society to grow. Look at the doctors in Lagos. I have over 400 doctors and we are doctors in Lagos finding it very difficult to walk. My co-members go to the rural health centers to walk. There is no electricity, no water. They stay there to walk. Look at the educational system. You won't believe it that some of the co-members are principals and headbusters. Before I came into the camp I might have had a different opinion but coming into the camp and being part of the camp experience in a whole way I think that it would be a wrong move. I think that those calling for the scrapping of the scheme are probably not looking at it holistically, looking at it from a point, a viewpoint especially for us who are in the system. First of all we need to understand what NYSE is all about. It's meant to reconstruct, rebuild and reconcile. It is a baby that we have to tend to. You cannot scrap it. It is there. It is effective. I'm a product of it and I'm proud of it. Why do you want to scrap a program that has done so much for the youth? Why do you want to scrap a program that has given youth one year of work experience? Why do you want to scrap a program that is doing so while helping the community development service? I don't quite understand the motive behind it. On the comments making the round saying co-members should be trained for war front, the co-members have this to say. We are not giving AK-47s here. We are taught and trained on how to help the community. We are taught and trained on how to do things to develop the community. The NYSE as a scheme we fight various kinds of war, war against indiscipline, war against corruption, war against laziness. The NYSE scheme was created in a bid to reconstruct, reconcile and rebuild the country after the Nigerian civil war on the 22nd of May 1973. It was also established with a view to foster unity among the youth and the promotion of national unity. Destiny Momo for Plus TV Africa.
