NLC Condemns NYSC N4,000 Charge On Prospective Corps Members

The Nigerian Labour congress, NLC, has condemned the National Youth Service Commission, NYSC, for compelling corps members to pay N4, 000 online registration fees.

Recall that Mr Anthony Ani, the NYSC’s Director for Corps Mobilisation, had said  that a N4,000 online registration fee will be paid by fresh graduates before they get their call up letters.
In a  statement released on Thursday, the union frowned at the policy of charging corps members before being registered for the compulsory one-year scheme, saying the process was being exploited by the NYSC as a money-making venture.
The NLC explained that as a general rule, any technology that seeks to increase the cost of production is not worth the effort.
“In the instance, we have reason to believe that the online registration initiative helps to reduce both administrative and bureaucratic costs which NYSC had borne all along. Embracing technology should reduce operating cost, time and wastage,” he added.
The NLC thereby called on the authorities of the NYSC to make a review on the policy of charging corps members N4, 000.

If Nigeria graduates are being made to pay before they perform the one year service,  maybe the scheme should no longer be compulsory???

Any small opportunity Nigerian man get,they tend 2 exploit poor people with it. The scheme should be cancelled and maybe d federal gov't should empower graduate by giving dem some money 2 start a biz.
