After wide-spread complaints by Nigerians with regards to the introduction of N4,000 to be paid by prospective corps members for printing of call-up letters on-line including services and infrastructure to be deployed by the collaborating firm, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has attempted to clarify the need for the fee.
The NYSC stated that the fee is optional and not compulsory as only prospective corps members who do not wish to travel to their respective schools for collection of the call-up letter but would rather have it printed from an online portal need pay.
Speaking at a press briefing, the director of corps mobilisation of the scheme, Antony Ani stated that the services which include receipt of call-up numbers through email/sms, printing or re-printing of call-up letters online in case of loss, explained that prospective corps members who choose to collect their call-up letters from their institutions need not pay the stipulated fee.
Ani added that apart form the ease of the collection of call-up letters, the services will help eliminate irregularities which include the mobilisation of unqualified, lack of proper record of those mobilised, tedious process on registration in camps and service evasion by corps members.
