"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," she said.

Why Kate Henshaw wants NYSC to be scrapped

The actress noted that ending the scheme was better since corps members could no longer travel within the country due to insecurity.

She said: "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."

"I did my 3 weeks orientation in Taraba and it was an interesting experience, I still can’t believe I’ve lived in the North. Also spent a day is Yola touring around before getting my flight back home. Them no born me well to try that again with the insecurities everywhere ."

GbemiDennis:

"The purpose of national integration and unity which this scheme should be serving has been eroded due to several avoidable reasons. It has gradually turned to a space to fulfil academic and certification requirement without a sense of nation building. SMH."

"I think the NYSC is a distraction the government now uses to avoid employing a valuable workforce. Why employ when you can recycle free workers yearly?"
