Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, Nigeria’s Minister of Education, has stirred debate with a bold proposal to extend the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme from one year to two.
Unveiled as a strategy to combat youth unemployment and curb certificate fraud, the plan seeks to revamp the scheme’s impact. Announced recently, the idea has split public opinion—some Nigerians worry it places an extra burden on graduates already facing job scarcity, while others doubt the current programme’s efficiency and question whether doubling its duration will deliver results.
