This may be good news to some people
but to those passionate about this NYSC business, it’s terrible news. I
don’t know how I feel about it. It’s just good to know I can finally avoid this
program that I don’t like much.
According to reports, pregnant women,
nursing mothers and Post graduate students will no longer be able to take part
in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program across the country.
The NYSC DG, Brig-Gen. Johnson
Olawumi, said the exemption of people in these categories from service was necessary
because they would not be able to undergo the four cardinal programmes of the
NYSC, which is mobilisation, orientation, primary assignment and winding-up
passing out parade and it doesn’t make sense that they miss these stages of the
national service, only to resurface for posting to their various places of
primary assignments.
Some people think this new development
is a discrimination against women and I will reserve my comment. I have never
liked this program especially because the Nigerian government does not support
Nigerian students in any remarkable way that I know of. I also don’t get the
big deal about it and please don’t say it’s a way of giving back to society
because there are other ways to do so. Thank goodness they added one more category
to the pregnant women and nursing mothers’ category.
Anyway, stay happy beautiful people.
Xoxo
