The Federal Government has said the National Youth Service
Corps is here to stay, stressing that its contributions to national development
are indisputable.
This was disclosed in Abuja on Saturday night by the
Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr Sunday Dare, at the premiere of an
advocacy movie produced by the NYSC entitled “A Call to Service”.
The movie was produced to increase appreciation for the
scheme’s relevance in promoting national unity, patriotism, peace and cohesion.
The minister lauded the timely release of the movie as the
relevance of the scheme has been under public scrutiny and debate in recent
times, with many calling for its scrap.
“The timing of this movie could not have been better than
now after weeks and months of debates about whether the NYSC is relevant or not
and whether the scheme should be scrapped or should continue.
“The answer to the critics, to the anti-NYSC is in the
premiere of this movie. This movie needs to travel and hit every viewing
platform across Nigeria and in the diaspora; it must go viral.
“Let the message go out strong and clear, that the NYSC has
come to stay. The scheme is more relevant now than it has ever been before in
the country”.
