The minister stated this on Saturday when the Director General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Abuja.
Alausa said the duration of the scheme can be extended with the expansion of NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Training programme content for corps members.
''You have done so well as an organization. Let NYSC give people more opportunity to become job creators that will meet the needs of the country”, he said, according to a statement by NYSC spokesperson, Caroline Embu.
He also hailed the scheme for resolving the lingering issue of ordinary national diploma part-time graduates with full-time higher national diploma who were previously exempted from national service.
He advocated the deployment of more graduate teachers to serve in rural schools, saying this would fill the manpower gap in the schools.

Does this man think at all? If this happens,the system will be over crowded and even crash....
What difference would this truly make .
ReplyDeleteI pray for a Nigeria that would have forward thinkers as leaders in every sphere.
Amen
DeleteAmen o 👏
DeleteAdunni
Amen
DeletePls this is a wrong narrative of the Minister's statements. He actually advocated for a 2yr NYSC for NCE graduates ONLY - for deployment to rural areas to boost education in those places. He asked the NYSC DG to consider the initiative. I listened to the news item on Channels News.
DeleteGod punish them, they are trying to drag Nigeria back by all means, something they supposed to even reduce to three or six months.
ReplyDeleteBad idea.Hope it's dead on arrival!
ReplyDeleteIt actually may not be a bad idea if done right.
ReplyDeleteDone right for where. After spending how many years in school couple with internal and external strikes and then you are subjected to 2 years service haba!!!
DeleteHe for kuku say the single ones should serve until they get married then give birth, then the married ones should serve until all there children becomes Adult. Senseless reasoning if you ask me..long hissssssssssss
ReplyDelete😂😂lmao !!!
Delete🤣🤣🤣🤣. Pure oo
DeleteChai 😂
DeleteLol😂😂😂😂
DeleteNigeria doesn't have the finance.
ReplyDeleteBecause of ordinary 77k, that is hardly even enough, you are proposing rubbish.
Even if we have the finance. What will they be doing in their PPA for two years.
DeleteSome of these core members don’t even know anything happening in their PPA, they get paid for doing nothing.
DeleteChai because of 77k
ReplyDeleteHe should start from his children.... rubbish. They should kill their selves because of the 77k that is not even enough for them.
ReplyDeleteThat thing should be completely scrapped.
ReplyDeleteThe Education Ministers we have these days, I don't understand them 😵💫
ReplyDeleteThat's how they scrapped history from the school curriculum...they sometimes behave uneducated as against their ministry.
Adunni
Investigate their education history, you will understand why certain things are the way they are in that Ministry. God will save our children.
DeleteAnon 12.54 and TWE, both of you cannot wear the academic and professional shoes of Dr Alausa - a UK and US trained consultant nephrologist as well as assistant professor of internal medicine. Social media just gives some of the you the privilege to write rubbish about people you don't know and can never come close to their life's achievements. Nonsense
DeleteHe doesn't know that majority of the corps members are not even doing anything in their PPA. You now want to keep them there for two years. Guy, are you even thinking at all. You are supposed to move for reduction in the number of months. Whatever it is you want to do, you can do within a year.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you, it should be reduced to six months
DeleteWeldon Mr minister
ReplyDeleteIt won't make any difference. Add that skill and acquisition during the one year.
ReplyDeleteYou need manpower in schools when we have so many unemployed teacher graduates roaming the streets or some working in private schools that pay them peanuts as salary, yeah? Nigeria sha have empty headed leaders shaaa
ReplyDeleteLook at this Lane Minder that doesn't know her left from the right, insulting a consultant/specialist doctor who did residency in both the US and UK and is also a professor of internal medicine. You, what are you again? I don't blame some of you BVs
DeleteNa wa o...
ReplyDeleteThey can say one year and voluntary extension for the second year
ReplyDeleteIt will help with unemployment because many don’t have jobs waiting for them after the first year
That 77k that we call nothing is much better than the 0 or little some will earn after they leave the program
They will talk. What is the unemployment rate again? How many have been out of school for five years or more and still cannot land a job. Didn’t we get one BV who is a teacher in a private school earning a whole 40k monthly write in recently. Perhaps some of those who are upset are upset that a scheme would grant the participants more than they earn in their field of employment and I get how irksome that could feel. That 77k is nothing to scoff at.
DeleteI like your idea of voluntary extension, let it be a choice.
Did he serve at all? During his time was it two years?
ReplyDeleteCant wrap my head around how some of these our leaders reason sometimes
At least before you come out to say something, you sef, sit down and think over it
How many Corpers are truly serving diligently in their PPA?
So speechless 🙊
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Are we going forward like this?
ReplyDelete2 Years? Oga no vex, abeg shift one side make I pass.
ReplyDeleteThis government should please channel there energy to something reasonable and stop acting as though they didn't pass through the four walls of a University.
ReplyDeleteMtcheeew
Instead of scraping the scheme,your advocating for 2 years. Does it have any economic value to the country?
ReplyDeleteWhen he should be talking about reducing it or total scrap, this man is capping nonsense. Not that there will be provision of job .
ReplyDeleteYou go school at all? Read what you wrote again whether it makes sense. Then look for Brighter English to correct your sentences and use of punctuation marks.
DeleteBritain stopped national service in 1960. The last constriction was held in 1963. Employ educated people to manage the country abeg oooo!
