Former Kaduna lawmaker, Shehu Sani has reacted against the bill seeking to wipe out National Youth Service Corps, NYSC.
Awaji Abiante, a lawmaker who seek for the scrapping out of the National youth service corps NYSC scheme on Wednesday, has passed through second reading at the green chamber.
Sighting his reasons that Nigeria has failed in the aspect of security, and if the scheme continues, a lot of graduates life will be at risk, also said that the scheme has failed to address the essence of its establishment.
The lawmaker seeks to use the bill to amend section 315 (1)(a) of the 1999 constitution.
However, Sani on his Twitter page said the scheme is needed now more than ever for Nigerians to know other regions aside from their birth place.
He said “The NYSC should not be scrapped. Its needed now more than ever before. Many Nigerians have never known anywhere other than their hometown and University town if not for NYSC.
“Its mandate should be expanded to give participants full military training in the face of insecurity.”
