The NYSC scheme was created in a bid to reconstruct, reconcile and rebuild the country after the Nigerian Civil war. The unfortunate antecedents in our national history gave impetus to the establishment of the National Youth Service Corps by decree No.24 of 22nd May 1973 which stated that the NYSC is being established "with a view to the proper encouragement and development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria and the promotion of national unity".The National Youth Service corps was born out of a share desire of an egalitarian society, with the integration of people and diverse culture. But then my question is what will be the gain if after primary,secondary,tertiary levels(home or abroad) of education the Nigerian youth is sent out on a rather futile mission in order to fulfil a one year mandatory service . My questions should the scheme be discontinued in such areas and those graduates from this affected region what will be their plight?
