Make NYSC Optional, Banky ‘W’ Tells FG by BleedingPen: 1:15pm On Apr 19, 2022
Nigerian singer Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has urged the Federal Government to make the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme optional.

In an interview with Channels TV, Banky W said, “At least half of the young people who do NYSC might not need it. You have people that go for NYSC and they just sign a paper somewhere and give somebody money, so that they say they have it and then go off and do whatever.”

The singer further asked, “Is that program really achieving what it was meant to?

“Can we consider amending the constitution so that we can say that this thing is no longer compulsory, it is optional?”

Banky W is vying for a seat at the House of Representatives to represent the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency of Lagos State.

Why?... it should not be scraped, infact another year should be added for vocational training and entreprenuership skill. NYSC moderates the amount of graduates thrown into the labour market.

It IS optional

It's not compulsory

Just no look for certain jobs

And no run for office
