The NYSC scheme has been in existence for years in Nigeria. And has really groomed quite a number the Nigerian youth making them to really discover the essence of service to humanity
Personally I think the scheme in it's goal have been able to unite people of different ethnicity and believe system and in a little way it has kept peace amongst people of different backgrounds and religions.
My concern has been drawn lately to what could b the economic importance or benefits of the NYSC sheme to the economy of our dear country Nigeria .
The federal government though have treatend several times to scrab the scheme have not been able to do so my question is if the scheme is scrabed, is there any part of the economy that will collapse or suffer, brings me to think what the reason is why the federal government have not been able to scrab the scheme .
Mind you am not of the oppinion that the scheme be scrabed but am only concerned about what benefits has it been to the country's economy

NYSC scheme was brought up by General Gowon after the civil war to inculcate the spirit of unity amongst the youth of Nigeria because after the civil war, most persons from the South where not going to the North and most Northerners you're not coming to the South, so the scheme was to imbibe the spirit of unity via diversity. it was necessary at that time because most southerners use the opportunity to go to North especially within the youth, and North to use the opportunity to come to the South.
so the major aim of the scheme was to build the spirit of oneness. To large extent, the scheme has recorded success over the years. Just that recent times, government policies haven't been too favourable with scheme, because they just post corper's to go and teach even when they are not trained teachers, some they post them to places that are not befitting for graduates.
