The Minister of Youth and Sports DevelopmentSunday Dare, has revealed why the National Youth Service Corps, (NYSC) will not be scrapped anytime soon.
According to Dare, the scheme is more ready to stay despite critics and insecurity challenges in the country.
The Minister disclosed this while speaking at the premiere of an advocacy movie produced by the NYSC entitled “A Call to Service” in Abuja on Saturday night.
He said, “The message must go out strong and clear, that the NYSC has come to stay. The scheme is more relevant now than it has ever been before.
“The timing of this movie could not have been better after weeks and months of debates about whether the NYSC is relevant or not and whether the scheme should be scrapped or should continue.
“The answer to the critics, to the anti-NYSC is in the premiere of this movie. This movie needs to travel and hit every viewing platform across this country and in the diaspora; it must go viral.” (Daily Independent)
