The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has been a cornerstone of Nigeria's national integration since its inception. Established in 1973 in the aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War, the scheme was intended to foster unity and promote national development by deploying young graduates to serve in various parts of the country. 

However, in recent years, the programme has faced increasing scrutiny. Critics argue that the NYSC's original objectives have been undermined by significant challenges..

Chief among these challenges is the security threat faced by corps members. 

In the light of the continued security concerns, the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group Afenifere recently called for the regionalization of the scheme.

Here, we discuss the feasibility and potential impact of this proposed reform by Afenifere . Can regionalization address the security and other challenges faced by corps members?

Take a listen.
