Nigeria's Minister Of Education Olatunji Alausa Wants NYSC Service Year To Be Extended To 2 Years..

Nigeria's Minister of Education, Olatunji Alausa, has pushed for the extension of the national service scheme from one to two years.




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.

    2. Pls 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.

    2. Anon 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

  10. He 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.

    1. Look 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

  13. They can say one year and voluntary extension for the second year
    It 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

    1. 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.

      I like your idea of voluntary extension, let it be a choice.

  18. Instead of scraping the scheme,your advocating for 2 years. Does it have any economic value to the country?

    ReplyDelete
  19. When he should be talking about reducing it or total scrap, this man is capping nonsense. Not that there will be provision of job .

    1. You 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.

  20. Britain stopped national service in 1960. The last constriction was held in 1963. Employ educated people to manage the country abeg oooo!
