FG urged to proscribe NYSC programme

governorship aspirant in Delta State, Mr Sunny Onuesoke, has enjoined the Federal Government to proscribe the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, scheme.

Onuesoke who stated this in a chat with newsmen, yesterday, said the essence of the scheme had been defeated.

He decried a situation where corps members posted to the Northern part of the country were often target once there was crisis in the states they were posted to serve their father land.

Lamenting that the Southern part of the country had lost over 500 of their children, who were posted to serve in the North in the last 20 years, he described the actions of those behind the recent post-election crisis in Bauchi and Kaduna States as barbaric and inhuman.

He urged the Federal Government to take a hard stance against those behind the mayhem, which claimed the lives of corps members posted to the North.
