House Of Rep Suspends #4000 Call Up Letter Fee
directed the National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) to suspend forthwith its policy
requiring prospective corps members to
pay N4,000 as registration fee before
accessing their call-up letters.
Prompted by a motion sponsored by Hon.
Hassan Saleh (PDP, Benue), it also
instituted a probe into the alleged fee
This is as the Nigerian Financial
Intelligence Centre (NFIC) bill passed third
reading on the floor of the House.
According to Saleh (PDP, Benue), the
"recent advertorials in some national
newspapers that with effect from 2015,
corps members will be required to
register online with a fee of N4,000 to be
able to access their call-up letters as an
alternative to their having to go to their
various schools to collect the letters."
He said "as laudable as the idea of sending
call-up letters though the internet may be,
the decision requiring fresh graduates to
cough out N4,000 to access letters appears
insensitive and exploitative."
Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha, upon a
petition by Hon. Uzo Azubuike (PDP, Abia)
that the public petitions' committee he
chairs was already working on the matter,
ruled that committee on youth
development and the sponsor of the
motion be invited to be part of the panel
that will conduct a session on the matter.
