Service Corps (NYSC) to suspend forthwith its policy requiring
prospective corps members to pay N4,000 as registration fee before
accessing their call-up letters.
Prompted by a motion sponsored by Hon. Hassan Saleh (PDP, Benue), it
also instituted a probe into the alleged fee
This is as the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Centre (NFIC) bill
passed third reading on the floor of the House.
According to Saleh (PDP, Benue), the"recent advertorials in some
national newspapers that with effect from 2015, corps members will be
required to register online with a fee of N4,000 to be able to access
their call-up letters as an alternative to their having to go to their
various schools to collect the letters."
He said"as laudable as the idea of sending call-up letters though the
internet may be, the decision requiring fresh graduates to cough out
N4,000 to access letters appears insensitive and exploitative."
Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha, upon a petition by Hon. Uzo Azubuike
(PDP, Abia) that the public petitions' committee he chairs was already
working on the matter, ruled that committee on youth development and
the sponsor of the motion be invited to be part of the panel that will
conduct a session on the matter.
