 Crises In NYSC Over Deductions From Corpers Allowee
In what has emerged like a replay of the Police Equipment Fund scandal, a crisis is at present brewing within the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) over the compulsory one-off deduction of N500 from the allowances of corps members to fund a scheme that is ostensibly a private concern, but registered as NYSC Foundation. The foundation is believed to have benefitted from corps members’ contributions running into millions of naira. NYSC mobilises at least 300,000 young graduates of tertiary institutions annually.
THISDAY investigation revealed that the scam all began in 2007 with the approval of the then management of NYSC.
