In a bold statement that has caught the attention of the public, Award winning actress and fitness enthusiast Kate Henshaw calls for the end of NYSC. She has taken a firm stance on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, advocating for its discontinuation.
Henshaw, who has been an active advocate for youth empowerment and safety, has raised some concerns about the risks that young participants face in the current state of the program.
Henshaw’s argument questions the shifting relevance of the NYSC program, which was initially designed to foster unity, cultural exchange, and national integration among young Nigerians.
The actress I expressed her concerned about the safety of corps members who are posted to different parts of the country during their service year. Recent reports of security threats and incidents involving corps members in various regions have raised alarm bells, prompting questions about the feasibility of ensuring their protection throughout the program.
She took to her Twitter to say this
“When I served in the North, it was a very memorable experience. Travelling from Bauchi by road to the airport was safe & then flying to Lagos just with my NYSC ID card, which also got me rebate on my ticket.
It’s time to SCRAP this idea since corpers can’t travel within this country without LET OR HINDRANCE!
Stop putting the lives of young people at risk with moribund ideas.
Security is a priority & needs to be sorted totally, not technically”
