Ayodeji Ologun Urges FG to Suspend NYSC Reforms 2026

The Federal Government of Nigeria has been advised to put the proposed reforms of the National Youth Service Corps on hold, according to Ayodeji Ologun, Executive Director of the Center for Responsive Governance.

Ologun, a governance advocate, reportedly believes that the current approach to reforming the NYSC may undermine its objectives, and is therefore calling for public consultations to be conducted before any changes are implemented.

The NYSC is a significant national scheme, and any reforms to it should be carefully considered, sources say, to ensure that the changes benefit the corps and its participants, rather than harming them.

By suspending the implementation of the proposed reforms, the Federal Government can allow for a more thorough examination of the potential effects of the changes, and give the public a chance to provide input, which could help to shape the reforms in a positive way.

According to Ologun, reforming the NYSC is necessary, but it should be done in a way that takes into account the needs and concerns of all stakeholders, and this can only be achieved through extensive public consultations and a transparent process.

The call to suspend the implementation of the proposed reforms has highlighted the need for careful consideration and public input in the decision-making process, and it remains to be seen how the Federal Government will respond to Ologun's plea.
