Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw has called on the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government to scrap the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme.
Henshaw called for NYSC’s scrap on Twitter due to the escalating insecurity in the country.
She argued that since the safety of Corps members could no longer be guaranteed, it was imperative to do away with the scheme.

She said:
“When I served in the North, it was a very memorable experience. Travelling from Bauchi by road to the airport was safe & then flying to Lagos just with my NYSC ID card, which also got me a rebate on my ticket.
“It’s time to scrap this idea since corpers can’t travel within this country without let or hindrance!
“Stop putting the lives of young people at risk with moribund ideas. Security is a priority & needs to be sorted totally, not technically.”
Checks revealed about eight NYSC members were recently kidnapped in Zamfara State.
