Federal Government has denied the
rumours circulating the internet about
disbanding and scrapping the National
Youth Service Scheme (NYSC).

Contrary to the rumour renting the
social media that the National
Youth Service Scheme (NYSC),
established since 1975 by then
Head of State General Yakubu
Gowon (retd), has been summarily
disbanded and scrapped by
President Muhammadu Buhari,
alongside post Jamb tertiary
institutions exam, UMTE,
authoritative Villa source has
promptly denied such as
unfounded and legally illogical.

“NYSC is a creation of the law. Only
another law can repeal it.”

– Garba Shehu (Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Media
and Publicity).
