Some factions of the Federal Government wants NYSC scrapped!!!

The federal government has said it will not succumb to agitations from some quarters to scrap the National Youth Corps Service Scheme.

The Minister of Youth Development and Sports, Mr Solomon Dalong, in Lagos Tuesday said the NYSC had come to stay, adding that its merit outweighed it's disadvantages.

Dalong said this during an inspection tour of the Lagos State NYSC orientation camp in the Iyana Ipaja area of the state on Tuesday.

He pointed out that the scheme had not enhanced the socio-cultural and ethnic integration in the country but had also promoted national unity.
