Omotola urges Buhari to Scrap NYSC (See her reasons)

Popular Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde has urged the Federal Government to scrap the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). She made this call in an interview with the NewTelegraph. According to the actress, NYSC is not useful and has produced no credible or tangible results over the years despite the billions of Naira that have been sunk into the programme. She added that the programme is a waste of time and resources.

“For instance, I have had situations where some members of my staff, in the name of NYSC, left for a year only to come back and their spaces had been taken by another. You can imagine. NYSC is not just adding any value to our society or even to the lives of our children. I am of the opinion that it should be scrapped.” However, it is unlikely that the FG under President Muhammadu Buhari will heed her call as the president has already publicly stated his commitment to ensuring that the scheme continues.
