It is no longer a joke that the youths of naija are the worst hit by her desire for change in this democratic process.Parents who toiled to send their children to school and are about heaving a sigh of relief that their child is about to finish the ‘all mighty’NYSC are crying…..tears of pain,regret and shock.
Please use the word of mouth to make this petition faster,call up friends,family,friends of friends and loved ones sign this petition and then ask the NYSC members you know to leave the trouble prone areas at once..enough is enough and we have lost too many lives already!
The NYSC program was established under Decree No.24 of 22nd May 1973. Among its goals according to the decree is to promote ties among Nigerian youths aimed at further enhancing national unity, tolerance and understanding. Upon graduation from higher institutions of learning in Nigeria, the graduates are sent to states in Nigeria to serve a mandatory Youth Service Corps program for one year. Over the years the program was extended to Nigerian students graduating from foreign institutions.
Recently many Youth Corp members were slaughtered in Jos following the sectarian riots in the city. Many of the Youth Corp members are being killed by hooligans following the recent presidential election as reprisals for the loss of their presidential candidate
If you know more names of NYSC members who died on the line of duty please post a message on this story.thank you.
