The disturbing incident where an NYSC member was beaten by teachers for allegedly “not greeting properly” has sparked outrage, leading some to question the purpose and effectiveness of the program. One controversial comment stated, “Can we scrap this scam called NYSC?”
While the NYSC has been a valuable tool for fostering national unity and providing service to communities, such incidents reveal systemic issues that need urgent attention. Rather than scrapping the program, this moment calls for a reassessment of how corps members are treated, ensuring that they are respected, protected, and supported in their duties.
