Description

National youth service corps scheme as an instrument of national development and nation building in Nigeria (an overview).

Abstract

There is a need to encourage Nigerian youths to actively participate in National integration and development, rather than have them as passive beneficiaries on the grounds that the National Youth Service Corps scheme sends teeming Nigeria graduates from various institutions within the country to serve their fatherland for the period of one year in states other than their states of origin. Many people see these youths in their uniform without clear knowledge of who they are or what they stand for. Some doubt the wisdom in the continuation of the National Youth service corps and complain that funding this scheme is a colossal waste. It is in the realization of the above arguments that this study is being carried out. To ascertain, the reasons behind the inauguration of the National Youth service corps scheme. To find out its achievements as well as the problems militating against it. With the aim of finding lasting solutions to those problems and making appropriate recommendations for effective operations of the scheme and enabling the general public to appreciate the efforts of the scheme in the unity and development of the nation. These will be reviewed in five well arranged chapters of its research work.
