In recent months, it should have become very clear to every discerning mind that almost every family must be sharing in the present burden of our youths, many thousands of who have been “sitting at home” some for upwards of close to two years or more after graduation, without being able to mobilise for the National Youth Service Corps Scheme. There is seeming confusion in the land and no one seems to care; no one sees the social and health dangers that are looming in this national burden.
For example, I have seen a number of brilliant young minds idling away, waiting for NYSC mobilisation. I have a very brilliant nephew who studied Applied Mathematics with Statistics in one of our Universities and graduated with a First Class Honours and has not been called up for over one year for NYSC and yet cannot be gainfully engaged or employed because of the archaic law that prohibits our graduates from being employed without the NYSC Certificate.
