Why the NYSC Trust Fund bill ought to be signed by Buhari - CESJET

 

President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged by the Center for Social Justice, Equity, and Transparency (CESJET) to sign the bill establishing the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Trust Fund.

The NYSC Trust Fund Bill, according to CESJET, will be Buhari's greatest legacy to Nigerian youth.

If the president signs the bill, according to CESJET Executive Secretary Ikpa Isaac, Nigerians' futures will be secure.

Isaac said in a statement he signed that the legislation will deal with juvenile restlessness and criminality.

“Without mincing words, this would be the best gift President Muhammadu Buhari can give to the youth of this nation. It is undisputed that it will also in many ways bring growth to our nation’s economy.

“Mr President, an assent to the NYSC Trust Fund bill is a seal of a secured future for our Youth. It would be a clear plan and an antiserum to the contagion of youth restiveness and delinquency. It will remain a legacy that would be known for centuries as the change that restructured and repositioned our youth for greatness.

“CESJET, therefore, urges President Muhammadu Buhari to assent to the NYSC Trust Fund bill that has been placed before him. This administration has sustained the scheme more than every past administration, now it’s the time and opportunity to empower the scheme like no administration has ever done,” he said.
