Students Protest NYSC’s Postponement Of ‘Stream 2’ Mobilization

These aren’t the easiest of days for the National Youth Service Corps. The NYSC postponed the mobilization of corp members scheduled for the Batch A Stream 2 batch indefinitely citing a lack of funds.

The NYSC has also reportedly failed to pay outstanding allowances to some corp members, resulting in a protest at its Surulere secretariat in Lagos on Wednesday.

Graduates fed up of NYSC’s inevitable delay have organised a protest at the Ikeja secretariat of the NYSC demanding that the NYSC provide a date for the deployment of stream 2 corp members.

Ikeja Protest

Certain section of Nigerians have called on the Federal Government to scrap the scheme seeing as it can hardly afford it. Nigeria is in the grip of a severe economic recession even as the minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi claimed on Tuesday that there was no money to run the government.
