…Says Let Those Who Can’t Fight Work Without Pay

Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to turn NYSC camps into security training grounds to recruit “willing and able” graduates to join the military and the police.

Mr Fayemi pointed out that one of the cheapest and fastest ways to handle this was to amend the law setting up the National Youth Service Corps.

He said if NYSC ‘corpers’ are converted into soldiers, they could be deployed to fight against Boko Haram terrorists, bandits, separatists and so on.

The Ekiti State governor said with this, government can use the existing orientation camps to train willing and able graduates to reflate the security personnel under a special arrangement that will be worked out.

He added that that way, the fund that is currently deployed to the NYSC can be used with just some additional funding, which could be sourced through a national emergency fund for the next five to ten years.

He opined those who cannot join the military services can serve in their communities without pay if government must still retain the NYSC for everyone.
