Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, has called for the discontinuation of the NYSC program, reflecting on her own time as a corps member.

Taking to her Twitter account, the actress expressed her opinion that ending the initiative would be a wise move, given the risks to safety that corps members encounter while traveling across the country.

Drawing from her own experiences as a former corps member, Kate highlighted the contrast between past and present, emphasizing that in the past, individuals could freely travel without fear for their safety.

As a fitness enthusiast, she compared the situation to the present, deeming it unjustifiable to jeopardize the lives of young people due to outdated beliefs.

She tweeted,

“When I served in the North, it was a very memorable experience. Travelling from Bauchi by road to the airport was safe & then flying to Lagos just with my NYSC ID card, which also got me rebate on my ticket.
It’s time to SCRAP this idea since corpers can’t travel within this country without LET OR HINDRANCE!
Stop putting the lives of young people at risk with moribund ideas.
Security is a priority & needs to be sorted totally, not technically

Well said.
