The National Association of Nigerian Students has asked the management of the National Youths Service Corps to reduce the online registration fee for prospective corps members to N3,000. The fee at present is N4,000.
The NANS President, Mr. Tijani Usman, made this known in a statement on Monday.
Usman, the statement added, made the appeal when leaders of the association met with the NYSC managementled by Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, in Abuja.
According to the NANS President, no group, either in the NYSC Directorate, any school management or the operators of the online system, should exploit the intending NYSC members under the system.
The association, Usman said, would continue to be vigilant to ensure that the on-line policy remains functional, effective and exploitation-free.
He said, “NANS will ensure that her positions, especially on the reduced fee (from N4, 000 to N3, 000), are pushed through so as to make the system better in the end. This association also wishes to make it clear that we have protested, argued and debated this in the most civilized way; our issues were on points of facts and contents, there is no personal problem between either the leadership of NANS and the NYSC.”
