Breaking News: NYSC -Why SAED is a huge threat to the future of Nigeria

he Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was inaugurated in March 2012 to “address” unemployment in the country by teaching corp members skills they will need to be self-employed in today’s harsh economy. What we were told during orientation camp a little over a year ago was that if we learn any of these skills, some of which include fish farming, bead making, makeup artistry, soap making, fashion designing, baking and sewing, we have a strong chance at becoming employers of labour rather than job

President Muhammadu Buhari, has written to the Senate, seeking approval for the virement of N180 billion from N500 billion appropriated for the Special Intervention Programme, to finance key projects including the mobilization of National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, members.
According to the letter read at the commencement of Tuesday’s plenary by the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, the amnesty initiative and the Public Service Wage Adjustment, PSWA, numbered among projects to be financed, as amnesty will get a sum of N35 billion.
“The total recurrent expenditure requirement to be transferred is N166,630,886,954, while the capital expenditure requirement to be transferred is N14,208,367,476,” Buhari said.
A breakdown of the areas the money would be transferred showed PSWA taking the lion share of N71,800,215,270; amnesty, N35billion; mobilisation of corps members, N19,792,018,400.
Others are: foreign missions, N14,667,230,014; Operation Lafiya Dole, N13,933,093,000; Nigerian Air Force, N12,708,367,476; internal operations of the Armed Forces, N5,205,930,270; margin for increase in cost, N2 billion; Presidential Initiative for the North East, N1.5billion.Also, contingency, salary shortfall for the Public Complaints Commission gets N1.2 billion each, even as feeding of cadets at the Police Academy, Kano, and augmentation of meal subsidy for Unity Colleges receive N932,400,000 and N900,000,000.
The President, while explaining need for more funds, said: “Only N20,000,000,000 (already fully released) was provided in the 2016 budget for the Niger Delta amnesty programme. Consequently, allowances to ex-militants have only been paid up to May 2016. This is creating a lot of restiveness and compounding the security challenge in the region.”
As regards NYSC, he said: “The provision for NYSC in the 2016 budget is inadequate to cater for the number of corps members to be mobilised this year. In fact, an additional N8.5 billion is required to cover the backlog of 129, 469 members, who are currently due for call-up but would otherwise be left out till next year, due to funding constraints.”
The NYSC had announced the date for the Orientation Course for prospective 2016 Batch B corps members, disclosing that the programme would run from 24th of November to 13th December .

Breaking News: APC confirms Eze as Acting Chairman in Ebonyi

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC), has confirmed Mr Nwachukwu Eze as the Acting Chairman of the party in Ebonyi.
The News Agency NAN reports that a High Court sitting in Abakaliki on Sept.28, struck out the case brought before it by a factional Chairman of the party, Mr Ben Nwaboashi.
Nwaobashi had challenged his removal from office by the Eze-led faction and the court presided over by Justice John Igboji struck out the case for lack of merit, saying that the removal followed due process.
Nwaboashi and Eze had been laying claims to the chairmanship position of the party since January until the Sept.28 ruling, which was in Eze’s favour.
Chief Emma Enukwu, the APC South East Zonal Chairman, told NAN on Saturday that the zone had recognised Eze as the authentic chairman of the party in the state.
“This is in line with the report of the committee set up by the party to review the lingering leadership tussle that had engulfed the Ebonyi chapter of the party.
“We are waiting for the final ratification by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC)”, he said.
On his part, Eze said he would concentrate on repositioning the party.
He said Nwaobashi’s supporters would be welcome into the fold but with the condition of maintaining discipline.
“Anyone who engages in anti-party activities will be sanctioned.
Nwaobashi, however, told NAN that the process was flawed.
“I don’t want to engage in a press war over this illegality”, he stressed. (NAN)


CBN-NYSC Loan: 310 Youths Get N3 Million Each

The first batch of three hundred and ten youth entreprenuers have benefited from loans under the CBN-NYSC-Heritage Bank Youth Entrepreneurship Development Programme (YEDP).
The funds were disbursed to the beneficiaries, comprising serving and ex-Corps members, at a ceremony, which took place on Thursday at the Central Bank Headquarters, Abuja.
They were given loans of up to three million naira each at single digit interest rate.
In his address, the Central Bank Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, said other applicants are at different stages of completing their loan documentation process.
Emefiele, who was represented by the Deputy Governor; Corporate Services, Suleiman Barau, recalled that the YEDP was introduced by the Bank in March 2016 as part of efforts to reduce the rate of unemployment in the country.
He noted that the programme was also to ensure that the creative energies of the over 64 million Nigerian youths are harnessed to stimulate growth, address restiveness and promote economic development.
He added: “To realize this objective, the Bank, in partnership with the NYSC and
Heritage Bank, began the pilot seven months ago to inspire and harvest the entrepreneurial abilities of Nigerian youths towards creating over one million direct jobs by 2020”.
The CBN Governor also announced the commencement of the YEDP with other Deposit Money Banks such as Sterling Bank and Fidelity Bank in a bid to fast track the process of identifying budding young entrepreneurs and broaden the scope of the entire programme.
He said that the programme was open to 18 to 35 years-old serving corps members, graduates or artisans.
He added that “to overcome the bottleneck of collateral requirements for loans, the beneficiaries’ academic and NYSC certificates, third party guarantees and movable assets are allowed as acceptable collateral under the Programme.
“The programme has a revolving fund with target to create more than one million direct jobs.
“We encourage all Nigerian youths that are interested in being their own boss to apply online through the participating banks.”
Speaking on the occasion, the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Sulaiman Kazaure, thanked the CBN for supporting efforts to empower the youths.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of Heritage Bank, Mr. Ifie Sekibo, said since the commencement of the programme, the Bank had worked assiduously with the CBN and the NYSC to develop guidelines and holistic risk management framework to protect its integrity and sustainability.


Google Trends reveal rising anxiety over NYSC scheme

Google says a rising anxiety on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme is popular on Google search this week.

Mr Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, Google’s Communications and Public Affairs Manager for Anglophone West Africa made the announcement in Lagos on Thursday.
He said the search on NYSC was trending from Oct. 12 to Oct. 19.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Google Trends, launched in May, 2006 allows one to see how popular search terms and their demography have been over time on Google.
“Google search for the NYSC hiked up when the agency announced its plans to mobilise only 35 per cent of eligible graduates for the next batch of the 2016 Batch B orientation.
“NYSC says some graduates will not be called `Otondo’ due to a lack of funds,’’ Kola-Ogunlade said.
`Otondo’ is a slang used to refer to corps members, who are not able to keep up with daily physical exercises during the orientation period.
The Google spokesman said that the release of 21 Chibok girls to the safe arms of their parents was also trending in the week.
“It was a tearful and joyful reunion for the 21 abducted school girls, now known as `Chibok girls’ as they reunited with their parents this week
Kola-Ogunlade the girls, who were among some 276 girls abducted by the Islamic Boko Haram 30 months ago, began to trend once news of their release was reported in the media.
Not least on Google trends was Mrs Aisha Buhari, Nigeria’s First Lady’s shocking revelation and a president’s humour.
“Mrs Aisha Buhari, Nigeria’s First Lady frustrations, which were displayed in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, revealed that the president’s administration was in the hands of a `few people’.
“In the interview she disclosed that she will not be campaigning for Buhari’s re-election in 2019, unless he shakes up his cabinet.
“The president’s humorous response that `she belongs to my kitchen, my living room and the other room’, ended up attracting lots of attention,’’ the Google chief stated.
He said that the Swedish Academy also gave a surprising shock to book lovers by awarding this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature to American 75-year-old folklorist and singer, Bob Dylan.
The spokesman said that many days after the prize was awarded, the academy reported that they were unable to reach Papi Bob.
Kola-Ogunlade said a music alert, a new song called “Diana”, released by Tekno, also trended in the week.
“The crooner who offered to give his baby “Big Cassava” in the hit song “Pana”, released a song called, `Diana’.
“ This time, the singer wants to dance for Diana, take her away and give her an updated love in his song co-produced by Selebobo and Kribeatz.’’
According to Kola-Ogunlade, other trending searches for the week are the “No Bra Day” which trended on social media to raise awareness on breast cancer.
“Similarly, the death of America’s Tommy Ford, the shooting to death of Olympic sprinter, Tyson Gay’s teenage daughter were also trending,’’ he said. (NAN)

F.G did not Slash Corpers Allowances, It’s A Rumour: NYSC







 

NYSC: We Didn’t Slash Corpers Allowances, It’s A Rumour

The National Youth Service Corps on Monday described as mischievous reports that F.G had slashed the allowances of corps members by 25 per cent.

A statement by the spokesperson for the NYSC, Mrs. Abosede Aderibigbe, in Abuja, said the allowance of corps members remained N19,800 and was not reduced to N14,800.

She said, “The management of the NYSC hereby refutes the content of the mischievous information circulating in the social media to the effect that corps members’ allowance has been slashed by 25 per cent. In the first instance, the document quoted a ‘Brigadier General Bamidele Oluwami’, the purported NYSC Director-General, as the source of its information.
