Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has called for the immediate abolition of the t issions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETFund, and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, labeling them as “extracurricular bureaucratic busybodies.”

I the scrapping of NYSC and NELFUND but not JAMB and TETFUND

Good

Jamb, ed
Nysc, not ed

Seconded

That's my boy talking right there

O

OK

Considered it void

I concur

I agree with him. I almost lost my life during my NYSC in the north. The driver and another enger died on the spot. I will never forget that day in my life. I thank God I am alive today

These two organizations are time wasters of Nigerian youth. One will stay at home for years writing Jamb, while those who know road and have long keg have entered school, same with NYSC waiting to be mobilized and wasting one year serving.

Meanwhile abroad at 25 most people who want to go to school have graduated and are working and usually married, their counterpart in Nigeria are still writing Jamb and trying to go for NYSC.

So you see your age mates abroad retire early and starts traveling the world on Vacation while in Nigeria at 40 people are still claiming youth. These are because of these Jamb and NYSC delays

Noise Maker, abeg keep quiet make persin hear word

Why?

COMRADES are speechless, Sowore is not serious and logical, the level of dichotomy will be very high amongst Nigerians

JAMB should stay, but nysc should go🤷

Jamb is useless, why is there then post utme. What thefuck js that?

I concur with him on this

Me think, these will help:

1. Increase JAMB Frequency
The t issions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination should be conducted 2 to 3 times a year. This gives students multiple opportunities to succeed, reduces the pressure of a one-time exam, and aligns with global best practices.

2. Extend JAMB Result Validity
A JAMB result should be valid for at least 2 to 3 years. This will reduce the financial burden on families and give students more time to prepare for university ission processes.

3. Discourage Post-UTME Exams
Post-UTME exams should be phased out. Instead, JAMB should be strengthened to serve as a centralized, standardized, and credible assessment. Strict penalties should be enforced to curb exam malpractice.

4. Remove Limits on Institutional Applications
Students should be able to apply to as many institutions as they choose, just like in many developed countries. This allows for better matching between students and universities, increasing ission chances and reducing bottlenecks.

5. Revise University Grading System
The grading scale should be reviewed. For example, a score of 60% (not the common 70%) and above could be considered an “A”, encouraging realistic and fair academic expectations while promoting critical thinking over rote learning.

6. Link Lecturer Evaluation to Student Performance
Lecturers should be evaluated and promoted based on measurable student outcomes, teaching effectiveness, innovation, and —not just academic publications. This will encourage better teaching and student .

7. Integrate AI Across All Courses
Universities should incorporate Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies into all fields of study—medicine, agriculture, education, law, etc.—to better prepare students for the future workforce.

8. Record and All Classes
All lectures should be recorded in video format and made available to students immediately after each class. This improves learning flexibility and helps students review complex topics at their own pace.

9. Government Grants for IT and Skill Development
The government should provide targeted grants and sponsorships to IT skill acquisition for out-of-school youths and adult workers. This will boost national productivity and reduce unemployment.

10. Upgrade Curriculum for Relevance
Tertiary institutions should update their curriculum regularly to reflect current industry demands and global trends. Courses should prioritize hands-on experience, internships, and soft skills development.

11. Strengthen Student Services
Counseling, career guidance, mentorship, and mental health services should be made readily available in all institutions to holistic student development.

12. Continuous and effective workers skill upgrade measures through online course and offline mediums.


Personally, I wish I had not participated in the NYSC program.

A visionary leader like Peter Obi will bring transformative and innovative ideas to these institutions that were conceived by our founding fathers and make them viable.
These institutions seems to be failing simply because of of a clueless leadership.

NYSC should be scrapped.

SOWORE doesn't seem to think before he talks these days................

Fraud US agent has spoken
