Provision Of Accommodation For Corps Members Before Redeployment: Your Opinion by Nobody: 2:47pm On Sep 02, 2014 |
This Programme was established under Gen. Gowon's administration with so many objectives in view. I must not fail to give kudos to the Board members of the NYSC for their effort to achieve such objectives. I have this problem which has been bothering me for some time now and it's really eating me up. It's definitely the issue of 'Accommodation' for the corps members. After the three weeks orientation camp, the corps members are posted to various local governments for their place of primary assignment without any form of accommodation provided for them. This is unfair on the part of the corps members who intend to serve their father land. Why do I call it unfair? First and foremost, the Prospective Corps Member receives a call-up letter to a state chosen by the NYSC Board members (Pls correct me if I'm wrong) and not by the Prospective corper. Often times, the prospective corper receives a state which he or she wouldn't have chosen if given the chance. That not withstanding, the corper tries so much to be in the state of deployment at the date designated for the 3 weeks orientation. Most times, you see Southerners posted to the North and Northerners posted to the South amidst the crises prevalent in some states. Secondly, after the three weeks camp, the corps members are relocated to various Local Governments and are told to receive it in good faith since they are serving fatherland. These corps members at this point have one thing in mind.. 'Accommodation!' Most times, corpers spend between 50 to 180 thousand naira (my view) just for accommodation ALONE, whereas some find churches, mosques etc to stay in just to have a roof over their heads. I'm appealing to the NYSC Board Members/Officials to please provide accommodation for all corps members before posting them to their place of primary assignment. Some Lagos, Abuja, Port harcourt Corpers (and some other corpers)are also complaining because of the cost of accommodation there.. Please cater for the welfare of the corpers, your children, before sending them out to serve their fatherland. Long Live NYSC, Service and Humility. Team Kano, B'14, Stream 2. May God bless us all. You may add whatever is bothering you too concerning this NYSC programme. 2 Likes |
