People calling for the abolition of NYSC are not being realistic. It is my opinion that NYSC is one of the few schemes Nigeria has gotten right. Like anything, it needs reforms to conform with the times. However…
Demilitarising the service is a not the best idea.
NYSC REFORMS:
On camping, the approved proposal is two weeks of civic, leadership, and life skills training; two weeks of basic accounting and financial literacy, access to finance, business planning, and career mapping; and the last two weeks would be a short immersion into your area of interest. So, you may have read English but be really interested in tech, environment and climate, or the creative sector.
Camps will be certified and graded to ensure that they meet minimum standards. State governments will be given a grace period during which to ensure they meet the standards for infrastructure, accommodation, safety and security and healthcare.
Posting will ordinarily be done impersonally using an algorithm that considers factors like state of origin, state of residence, school attended, etc.
Posting to security flashpoints will be risk-sensitive and people who are not indigenes of those areas or are already residing in those areas should not be posted there.
Regarding the timing of commencement and wider consultation, the NYSC Act would need to be amended for the changes to take effect. This should include public consultations and public hearings. Every legislation passed and assented to is a product of a series of compromises.
