NYSC Has Not Been Scrapped, Presidency Debunks Rumour

 
The Federal Government has denied scrapping the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). There were reports that the scheme, which was established since 1975 by then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (retd), has been scrapped by President Muhammadu Buhari, alongside post-UMTE.

According to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, NYSC still stands, while describing the report as unfounded and legally illogical. He said;
"NYSC is a creation of the law. Only another law can repeal it."
