The Touts Traffic Control Agency on blue uniform by the traffic light @ Ekpan Link Road, Airport Road (Warri) are evil, They keep exploiting motorists, jump into people's vehicles like thieves and money exploited sent to their individual s. Please Delta State Government should come to our aid.

NYSC is the most useless of them all. The purported unity it was touted to promote is non existent. This is evident on the e-war on X and Nairaland between Igbo and Yoruba youths.

I'd rather suggest they use that one year to be apprenticed to traders in Aspamda trade fair, Onitsha main market, Alaba international, etc.

After one year, the government should bulk up and shore up their allawee to be used as startups in whatever they trained on.

That would make more entrepreneurial impact and sustainably clear off CVs from blue chips and government agencies tables. It's a sustainable model of creating wealth that Igbos has evolved over the years and its working.

First time I think sowore had made sense.
I think in same direction too.
But hiw do u regulate universities with method of giving ission?
It will be more fraudulent.
Segzy19: 10:30pm On May 14
They can modify NYSC like letting people serve within their region and they can only serve outside their region only if they chose to.. The program itself can be enriched to make it more meaningful

They won't scrap it
A lot of economics and trades are tied to it.
Imagine the number of people that will become jobless; thousands and the ripple effects

Transporters make money moving corp around to various locations

Some people basically rely on the mammy markets as means of livelihood, although it is exploitative

How about those who produce the uniforms and Nysc kits... It's huge millions to them...

JAMB can be scrapped... O and A levels are enough for university ission....

These two organisations don't add any value to our youths

I never heard that a governor son or senator son is taken part in those nonsense

They will work their way out

Nigeria education system is useless

Those two organisations are frustrating youths

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

You make your education sound like waste. Recommending and to NYSC sue to road accident is so so myopic. Were others that experienced road accidents also going for NYSC? Road accidents occur due to reckless driving. I guess it's now easier to government to scrap NYSC than to simply caution your reckless commercial bus driver. Born and bred in Lagos and schooling in Ogun state, I was posted to cross River state. I went and I came back with no regrets whatsoever.

As for jamb, ission is on granted based on merit. ission is competitive and there has to be screening. The best get the slot. You want a dullard who only managed to score 165 to get itted for medicine over someone who scored 330(double)? He is recommending scrapping jamb instead of campaigning against students' laziness.

UncleAyo:
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.


On that NYSC, I personaly wish I did not participate in the program.
