The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, says the scheme has stopped posting corps members to states deemed unsafe as a result of the worsening security conditions in the country.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Youth, Jamila Ibrahim, disclosed this in an interview on Channels Television\u2019s Sunday Politics monitored by DAILY POST.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that several corps members have been kidnapped in some parts of the country during their one-year mandatory national service, raising fears about the sustainability of the scheme.<\/p>\n

However, Ibrahim said the scheme has taken steps to secure NYSC members including posting them only to safe states.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an immediate intervention of the government and the NYSC as an agency, we have stopped posting corps members to unsafe states.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been doing it. We have been doing it in the past. There are states we have not been posting corps members to to ensure their safety,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

According to her, the security of corps members requires collaboration with other government agencies.<\/p>\n

She said the Federal Government is working on reforming the NYSC scheme to reflect the present realities of the nation, particularly in the area of their allowance.<\/p>\n
