| Abstract: | The paper looked the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Scheme in Nigeria and the role it has played in national unity and integration. The National Youth Service Corps scheme, a post- civil- war scheme initiated by General Yakubu Gowon, the then Nigerian military head of state with Decree 24 of 1973, was aimed at uniting the- war torn Nigeria, as an indivisible nation; with ‘no victor, no vanquished’ principle. Given the fact that Nigeria as a nation,a creation of the British colonial master; a conglomerate of many ethnic nationals. Primordial loyalties, ethnic and religious bigotry nepotism, corruption, acrimony and winner-take all politics prevailed among the ethnic groups that make up the Nigerian nation-state. The National Youth Service Corps scheme was established to among others: develop common ties among Nigerian youths and promote national unity and integration, develop a sense of cooperate existence and common destiny of the people of Nigeria, Nigerian youths to eschew religious intolerance by accommodating religious differences, that as far as possible youths are assigned to jobs in states other than their states of origin. However, the authors observed that despite the lofty dream of the NYSC scheme at integrating the Nigerian populace, the programme is bedeviled with a lot of challenges that limits the objectives of the scheme from becoming a reality. Fund misappropriation, Corruption, preferential posting, discrimination , kidnapping, killing and raping of corps members especially in the Northern Nigeria are the major challenges facing the NYSC scheme from actualizing its objectives. The authors recommends that the government should reevaluate the programme as to reflect the current realities of the time and make the scheme relevant to the contemporary Nigeria state of affairs. |
