The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment towards keeping the National Youth Service Corps scheme alive to promote National development.
Dare disclosed this via his official Twitter handle on Wednesday, days after a bill calling for a scrap of the scheme passed second reading in the House of Representatives.
He noted that NYSC is one of the greatest tools for National development for Nigerian youths.
He tweeted: ''The NYSC scheme remains one of the greatest tools for National development for our youth.
''The commitment of the government to sustaining the NYSC scheme remains. Dynamic Reforms and Initiatives towards current realities are ongoing. Nigeria will stand with her youth.”
The bill sponsored by Awaji Abiante, a lawmaker from Rivers State had last week, passed through second reading at the green chamber.
The lawmaker seeks to use the bill to amend section 315 (1)(a) of the 1999 constitution.
Abiante said NYSC should be scrapped because the scheme has failed to address the essence of its establishment.
Also, there have been agitations from Nigerians, seeking to scrap NYSC due to insecurity across the country.
