“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.”
Speaking further Banky W 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, is optional.”
