There is a report making the rounds on social media that the Federal
government has scrapped the National Youth Service Scheme. Senior
Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Shehu
Garba, has released a statement refuting the report. Read the statement
below
"Contrary to the rumour renting the social media that the National Youth
Service Scheme (NYSC), established since 1975 by then Head of State
General Yakubu Gowon (retd), has been summarily disbanded and scrapped
by President Muhammadu Buhari,
alongside post Jamb tertiary institutions exam, UMTE,
authoritative Villa source has promptly denied such as unfounded and
legally illogical.
"NYSC is a creation of the law. Only another law can repeal it."
- Garba Shehu (Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity)
