The
move by the management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to introduce
online registration and call-up of prospective Corps members has raised a lot
of controversy which, if not quickly addressed, might affect the activities of
the organization.
The
full computerization of the call-up process was approved at the meeting of the
management in Calabar, and aims to begin with the 2014 Batch “C” mobilization
exercise. Under the scheme, prospective corps members are given the option of
registering and processing their call-up from the comfort of their homes or the
nearest business centre if they choose not to travel to their schools.
The
snag, however, is that they have to pay the sum of N4,000 to cover the cost of
this computerized processing, since the NYSC says, a private firm is handling
the computerization project on its behalf under a private/public partnership
arrangement.
