https://share.google/aimode/fDxB4ffhJl8hFAbNv Nigerian Government should focus more on relevant matters at hand not the irrelevant ones. Nigeria as a country has many relevant matters that needs urgent attention like the insecurities, cost of leaving, banditry and the unemployment in the country. They should rather try to fix those problems first before claiming they care about the citizens.
Trying to make some changes in the NYSC scheme is a total waste of time and resources, the government should rather just stop the one year service endangering the life of the Nigeria youth, the government should either give the supposed amount spent on each Corp members to them as an arrias for them to start a business or find another means of empowering the youth rather.
The government are just finding another way of extortion and use of funds for their selfish interest and claiming they have the interest of the young citizens at heart. All this is just a way to steal funds and will not add any value to the youth.
