Despite all the agitations to scrap NYSC, the Federal Government still believes that the merits of the programme outweighs the demerits. The Federal Government has said it will not succumb to agitations from some quarters to scrap the National Youth Service Corps scheme.
The Minister of Youth Development and Sports, Mr. Solomon Dalong, in Lagos on Tuesday said the NYSC had come to stay, adding that its merits outweighed its disadvantages. Dalong said this during an inspection tour of the Lagos State NYSC orientation camp in the Iyana Ipaya area of the state on Tuesday. He pointed out that the scheme had not only enhanced the socio-cultural and ethnic integration in the country but had also promoted national unity.
