Nigeria Universities – Polytechnics and College of Education news Nigerian Educational News | Zenith Of Educational NewsAfter some hit argument between the House of Representatives and the NYSC board, we’ll love to apprise you that the House of Rep has finally, approved the controversial N4,000 online registration fee for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members.
As most of us were aware, this particular decision reverses earlier House resolution, urging the NYSC to suspend the policy programme following public outcry against the fee to be paid by new Corp members.
On discussing this issue, the chairman of the House Committee on Youth Development, Kamil Akinlabi made the disclosure during a media chat at the National Assembly.
Where he took some time to explained that the fee which is expected to be paid by all new NYSC corp members, will service a private sector driven build, operate and transfer agreement. Kamil also disclosed that the registration equipment will be installed at the NYSC offices nationwide.
We were told that the contractor who is currently handling the project is expected to recoup its investment within five years, Akinlabi stated at the briefing with members of the National Assembly.
The lawmaker said the process was approved by the Bureau of Public Procurement with a certificate of no objection.
Even after receiving the”go ahead” from the house of representative, there are criticisms against the N4,000 fee, but the NYSC remains adamant, rising to the amount defence, saying the computerisation would ease the rigorous processes involved in the collection of call-up letters by upcoming NYSC members.
