Veteran Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw has called on the Federal Government to scrap the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
She hinged her reason on the escalating insecurity.
He call came on the recent abduction of about eight NYSC members were recently kidnapped along a highway in Zamfara State.
Reacting via Twitter on Wednesday, Henshaw said since the security of Corps members was no longer guaranteed, the scheme should be scrapped.
The thespian urged the government to “stop putting the lives of young people at risk with moribund ideas.”
She wrote, “When I served in the North, it was a very memorable experience. Travelling from Bauchi by road to the airport was safe & then flying to Lagos just with my NYSC ID card, which also got me rebate on my ticket.
“It’s time to scrap this idea since corpers can’t travel within this country without let or hindrance!
“Stop putting the lives of young people at risk with moribund ideas. Security is a priority & needs to be sorted totally, not technically.”
