In an interview with NewTelegraph,Omotola
Jalade Ekehinde made known her wish to
have Buhari scrap NYSC. Read excerpts
below:
What advice do you have for President
Muhammadu Buhari?
He should scrap NYSC. It’s not useful, he
should please do that for Nigerians. Our
children don’t need it anymore.
Why do you want NYSC scrapped, knowing
fully well it’s a national orientation
programme?
I have looked at the programme thoroughly
and exactly what it’s supposed to have
achieved over the years. Believe me, there is
no credible or tangible result. It’s a total
waste of time and resources and I think all
the time and resources should be channelled
into something more resourceful.
For instance, I have had situations where
some members of my staff, in the name of
NYSC, left for a year only to come back and
their spaces had been taken by another. You
can imagine. NYSC is not just adding any
value to our society or even to the lives of
our children.
do you agree with her
