Reactions, as Senate deletes NYSC decree from 1999 Constitution

Some Nigerians in Abuja expressed mixed feelings on the deleting of the National Youth Service Corps Decree from the 1999 Constitution.

The development came up in the recent Senate review and consideration of 33 Bills for passage.

The bills are contained in the report of the Joint Committee of the National Assembly on the review of the 1999 Constitution.

In their separate interviews in Abuja, while some welcome the development, others expressed concern about its consequences in the lives of youths and national development.

Mrs Ene Ede, Gender Advisor, National Democratic Institute, said, the development would allow the democratic process to become more participatory, inclusive, accessible and responsive to the needs and aspirations of the people.
