Recently, news has been in the air that the Federal Government has scrapped the POST-UME exams in universities, polytechnics and colleges of education. This was entirely true. The Federal Government had deemed it fit to relieve admission seekers of the burden of having to be extorted money from in the name of being screen for competence. Major stakeholders in the education sector had also give credence to this fact and approved it. However, no sooner did this information surface that a news followed; youth service scrapping. This was fast to spread and people actually believed it(and spread it) without inquiries or questions.
Recently, an interview with the Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to President Mohammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity said while reacting to the rumour. According to him, the National Youth Service was established by the law, and only another law can repeal it.
As a matter of fact, I have the same viewpoint that it should be left to thrive. Even though it has had so many shortcomings in management and security of servers, no good thing is entirely profitable.
What do you think? Do you think Youth Service should entirely be done away with?
