The bill was sponsored by the lawmaker representing the Andoni-Opobo/Nkoro Federal Constituency of Rivers State, Awaji-Inombek Abiante
However, the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare in a tweet on his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, said the Federal Government remains committed to the scheme.
He tweeted: “The NYSC scheme remains one of the greatest tools for National development for our youth.
“The commitment of the government to sustaining the NYSC scheme remains. Dynamic Reforms and Initiatives towards current realities are ongoing. Nigeria will stand with her youth”.
