Nigeria's Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs, Solomon Dalung has described calls for scrapping of the NYSC as sheer beer parlor talk.
He said this while addressing the 2016 Batch ‘B’ Youth Corps Members posted to the Federal Capital Territory on Monday at the Permanent Orientation Camp in Kubwa.
He called on the youth corpers not to believe the “beer parlour gossips in the social media" that Buhari was about to scrap the scheme.
“The NYSC ranks high in the priority of President Muhammadu Buhari, therefore, the present Administration is taking steps to improve the scheme because the programme is so dear to the President.
He described those calling for the scrapping of the scheme as short sighted, saying their advocacy was capable of leading to derailment of Nigeria’s corporate unity.
Dalung also submitted that the NYSC scheme had grown to become the backbone of Nigeria’s national unity, adding that "it has also created and fostered progressive relationships among youths from diverse cultures across the country that cannot be taken for granted."
