NYSC may review N4,000 online registration – DG
There are indications that the National Youth Service Corps may bow to
public pressure and reduce the controversial N4,000 online registration
fee the NYSC intended to charge prospective corps members.
But that will not take effect from the coming orientation but in the later future.
The Director of Press and Public Relations in NYSC, Mrs. Bose Aderibigbe,
disclosed this while briefing journalists on the outcome of the meeting
held on Wednesday in Abuja between the Director-General of the NYSC,
Brig.- Gen. Johnson Olawumi, and the Special Assistant to President
Goodluck Jonathan on Youth Affairs, Mr. Jude Imagwe.
She said, “He
(Imagwe) came to find out what is going on about the outcry against the
payment of N4,000 online registration by prospective corps members. The
DG told him that the N4,000 being paid is not for call-up letters but
just for the operation and provision of infrastructural facilities in
all NYSC camps and its 37 secretariats and offices in the 774 local
governments nationwide. It is for putting these Internet and manpower
facilities to ensure easy operation of prospective corps members.
“The DG has stated that the N4,000 issue might not be reviewed for now
but during subsequent orientation, it might be possible after management
and Sidmach Technologies have sat down to see the possibility of the
reduction. So for now, it might not be possible but subsequent ones, if
it is possible the entire public will know about it.”
There had been
criticisms against the N4,000 fee but the NYSC had risen to its
defence, saying the computerisation would ease the rigorous processes
involved in the collection of call-up letters.
The full
computerisation of the mobilisation process beginning with the 2014
Batch ‘C’ mobilisation exercise was endorsed at the 2014 NYSC Annual
Management Conference, held in Calabar.
The Director of Corps
Mobilisation in the NYSC, Mr. Anthony Ani, stated that the innovation
would not bring about job losses for members of staff.
