Mr Sunday Dare, Minister of Youths and Sports Development,
has kicked against the bill seeking to scrap the National Youth Service Corps,
NYSC.
The bill sponsored by Awaji Abiante, a lawmaker from Rivers
State had last week, passed through second reading at the green chamber.
The lawmaker seeks to use the bill to amend section 315
(1)(a) of the 1999 constitution.
Abiante said NYSC should be scrapped because the scheme has
failed to address the essence of its establishment.
Also, there have been agitations from Nigerians, seeking to
scrap NYSC due to insecurity across the country.
However, Dare in a post on his official Twitter page said
NYSC is one of the greatest tools for National development for Nigerian youths.
He further stated that dynamic reforms and initiatives
towards the current realities are ongoing, adding that the Buhari-led
government is committed to sustaining the scheme.
He tweeted, ”The NYSC scheme remains one of the greatest
tools for National development for our youth.
”The commitment of the government to sustaining the NYSC
scheme remains. Dynamic Reforms and Initiatives towards current realities are
ongoing. Nigeria will stand with her youth.”
