Good move !!!. We are already feeling the directive in my sector. The implication is more permanent jobs for the thousands of graduates instead of the year in year out one year stipend the graduates are being paid through NYSC.

anitank:
Not good!!! We are not complaining if they 'use' us for cheap labour. Atleast those companies pay reasonable amounts to corpers. Most of them (not all) retain those corpers because they won't want to go thru d stress of recruiting new staff and then training them all over again. The 'STATE' school I was posted to said they won't pay me a dime! And Lagos state is paying only 600 corpers out of abt 5000(Batch B). People like me are left to manage just that miserable 19,800k for transportation, feeding,toiletries etc. Now tell me if they're still in d right direction??

how much was ur allowance during ur undag days?!

gboss4sure:

1. Don't Make Seun Angry.

2. Don't Make Mukina or any of the mods Angry especially Mukina.

3. Don't mention *Garri*

If you can keep to these 3 rule you are good to go

lmao!!

The new posting policy has its pros and cons.
The education sector is not restricted to secondary schools alone. In my state, corpers are posted to the 2 universities, polytechnic, college of education, research institute, nursing school etc.
Rural and infrastructure is undefined, and the rate of rejection is alarming.

omaigala: I am new on nairaland, pls what are the prons and cons associated with this forum?

If you want to know the price of gharri, please visit a near by market.

Having long concluded my service year (thankfully), I think this directive is a step in the right direction. . .bearing in mind that, as the state coordinator rightly pointed out, the NYSC was not conceived as an internship scheme.

Besides, this cheap labour argument is very very valid indeed. . .(I am a bit guilty of it too). Many SMEs and even a number of big companies don't bother employing too many post-NYSC graduates since they can easily get qualified corpers (according to their desired specifications), paying as low as N15k to N30k/month in most cases for their services.

Dis Guy: This has been on since like April, and its being enforced with the current Batch B

what does Rural Infrastructural Development entails?

the village heads will start 2 give out lands 4 corpers 2 farm:-D

jhydebaba: Can't you see that's the reason majority of graduates are jobless. If these companies employ you now (pay you stipend) after a year you will be in the labour marker because they will be recruiting fresh corpers. So you join our league (unemployed).
Let's rise up and fight capitalist spirit out of Nigeria. BTW, you should be grateful for what the government is paying you, if I should tell you what I received as a corp member eh?

makes alot of sense.

Clueless govt. They are just making garri expensive.

Kia, I'm tired of laffing...... Nairaland una no go kill person

mimikevin: I hate dis their new rule.why didn't dey wait 4 me 2 start b4 they start 2 implement it...msheww and 2 make it worse lagos state govt don't pay copers a dine except d federal govt allawe

you are misinformed!

This new posting policy sucks for those who can't define the meaning of service
it also sucks for those who had high expectations and plans to work themselves to choice states

for once let us have the right attitude towards the NYSC.
have they gotten everything right? certainly not
can they ever get it right? nothing is impossible

Whatever happens do your time of service and move on.
its just one year people, if you get depressed, you will miss out on a whole lotta subtle benefits.

Under the sun and in the rain
with dedication and selflessness
Nigeria's call Nigeria we serve.

lets be patriotic

Last time I checked patriotism was missin from d naija dictionary, but wait ohh ; so I go con go do either nwa teacher work, yam harvesting or laborer for 1 idiotik village by d end of dis yia , kai c phuck up

wat does Garri rily mean in Nairaland?

Trendytessy: wat does Garri rily mean in Nairaland?

Simply, garri is the Nairaland's national index to measure the positive impact of any news on the free and good citizens of this great country.
It is the nationally agreed measurement for poverty level. IOW, all poor people can afford garri in the worst case scenario
Does the new NYSC policy reduce the price of garri in the market? Ans. No. Therefore, value of news = 0.

who d hell is Seun mtchewwww. Garri garri G-a -r-r-i . 9ijerians, una 2 dey feai. I only fear God. Nt one owner or a fuckin moderator. Yeye dey smell. Pls note: na smal thing dey vex me.

So Mr Goodluck you mean to say that corpers are suppose to be suffer heads....they beta go and find out the price of GARRI at their postings.

hmm...all this rules, na wa o. implementing all dis will be somehow difficuit.

floridam: Are u sure this policy is not again meant for the children of the poor and the 'non-long-legged-people'?

I have been waiting for such comment..people still serve in companies,only God knows how they do it but I know people currently serving in big companies.

As far as i'm concerned, NYSC is the height of pointless pointlessness.

Thank you for this you have actually hit the nail on the head, service wouldn't be a problem if not for this factor. NYSC advises that corpers will be posted to sectors relevant to their degrees (which makes alot of sense so the state can make sensible use of human resources)but if these sectors have been restricted, how is it going to work? I can imagine the country is in need of teachers but not that many, and like you said there is currently a high rate of rejection.

jhydebaba: Good step in the right direction.

Actually it doesn't make any sense- they say the new directive was employed because there is apparent abuse of the programme and corpers are meant to be serving their state not receiving work experience, it doesn't make sense to say, under the same breath, that they will force companies to employ graduates full time? The supposed reasons for this new directive are completely contradictory.

slimojas89: I have been waiting for such comment..people still serve in companies,only God knows how they do it but I know people currently serving in big companies.

Really? then there are ways around it and this whole hulabaloo from that nuisance of a president has all been gas and air. Like always

floridam: Are u sure this policy is not again meant for the children of the poor and the 'non-long-legged-people'?

God bless you for this! That is what I'm trying to find out, will daddy long legs still work? The directive has been issued and I think the larger companies will follow it, but since most corpers are going to end up getting rejected from their postings I assume private companies will still have to get involved.
Do the corpers directly apply for the work or is there some 'non priority' list NYSC then use to find them alternative placements? Is it worthwhile for one to still make an effort for a placing in a private company in spite of this new directive?

omaigala: I am new on nairaland, pls what are the prons and cons associated with this forum?

Avoid d G***i word. For sometime now,its bn like a plaque on NL,as it could fetch u a ban.
