"Stop putting the lives of young people at risk" Kate Henshaw requests for NYSC to be scrapped
Popular Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw requested that the yearly National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) program be scrapped. She recently shared this via twitter saying it was highline this idea was scrapped since corpers can't travel in peace.
This is due to the news of the abduction of 8 corps members in Zamfara State. She says security is a priority and this must be handled so as to stop putting the lives of young people at risk.
She shared that NYSC is not as it used to be in her time and went ahead to share when she served in the North. She shared how safe it was during her day to travel to the north unlike how it is now.
She said "When I served in the North, it was a very memorable experience. Travelling from Bauchi by road to the airport was safe & then flying to Lagos just with my NYSC ID card, which also got me rebate on my ticket. It's time to SCRAP this idea since corpers can't travel within this country without LET OR HINDRANCE! Stop putting the lives of young people at risk with moribund ideas. Security is a priority & needs to be sorted totally, not technically."
The kidnapped victims had been on their way to Zamfara from Uyo in an Akwa Ibom Transport Company bus. 3 out of the 8 victims have been able to escape from the kidnappers. They were travelling at night to their orientation camp in Zamfara when these gunmen abducted them.
