Minister Faults Reps Over Resolution On NYSC Posting

THE Minister of Youth Development, Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir, has disagreed with the House of Representatives resolution ordering the management of the National Youths Service Corp (NYSC) not to post prospective youth corps members to any of the crisis- prone states.
The House of Representatives had last week resolved that the management of NYSC should not post any prospective corps members to any crisis-ridden state.

The Minister told newsmen in Abuja that the resolution passed by the House of Representatives was against the law establishing the NYSC scheme and negates the main objective of national unity and sacrifice the scheme was built around.
According to him, “my position is that NYSC should continue posting youth corps members to all the states in the country including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, but for now, excluding only Borno and Yobe States.”

He disclosed that constitutional amendment would have to be made by the lawmakers on laws establishing the NYSC scheme as contained in the Nigerian constitution as regards the mandatory deployment of corps members to all the states of the federation, for national integration and unity, if such resolution is to be implemented.

He stated that inspite of the security challenges, all Nigerians, including NYSC members, should demonstrate their national patriotism and be ready to serve anywhere in the country.
