NYSC members
The National President of the Parent-Teacher Association of Nigeria, Haruna Danjuma, has urged the Federal Government to scrap the National Youth Service Corps scheme if it cannot guarantee the safety of corps members across the country.
Danjuma made the call amid growing concerns over the security of corps members following reported cases of kidnappings, killings, and attacks in several parts of the country.
Speaking with Sunday PUNCH on Saturday, the PTA president said parents were increasingly worried about the dangers young graduates face during the mandatory national service year.
“On behalf of parents, we are not happy with what is happening. It is painful to lose a child. It is not easy to train a child from birth until they complete university and then at NYSC, the child gets kidnapped,” he said. Punch
