CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Experience, training or Orientation is the power and
test of every work done or to be done in human history. The National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) is the only means through which graduates can obtain the
best training, orientation of up-bringing of the theoretical context of what
they study and equally the challenges to face as an independent entity.
According
to Oxford
advance learners Dictionary 7th Edition it defines Orientation as
training or information that is given before starting a new job, course etc.
National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has it’s emphasis on the idea of
orientation and National Integration of graduates of various higher
Institutions. With these orientation and Integration, graduate from all tribe,
race and ethnic diversities are show how life should be after school and how
perform job with the trainer’s supervision. Oxford advance learners Dictionary, Special
Price Edition Saw Integration as act or process of mixing people who have
previously been separated, usually because of colour, race, religion etc.
Therefore National Youth Service Corps is a type of training and integration
designed to expose and prepare graduates of higher institutions for this
purpose, ie what they are likely to meet after graduation. The scheme or
programme affords the opportunity of being familiarized and exposed to various
culture, tradition and interaction and equally the experiences needed.
This
study however is not aimed at looking at what is training is all about or the
meaning of NYSC rather it is to critically assess the National Youth Service
Corps towards enhancing National Integration, using Anambra State in Nigeria as
a case study. The case study is a state in South East Nigeria which was created
to promote integration of people from various race to enhance National
Development. These graduates which are integrated and oriented will become
managers of human resource and administrators of various ministries in the
state and Nigerian at large.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This
research work is being conducted to find out or make a critical assessment of
NYSC in Nigeria
and in Anambra in particular. What NYSC has done or would do for the Nigeria
graduates. The National Youth Service Corps is a programme designed to
inculcate discipline to the Youths by instilling in them a tradition of
industry and dedication and of patriotic and loyal service to the Nation in any
situation in which they may find themselves. Secondly the raising of the moral
tone of the youths by giving them the opportunity to learn about higher ideals
of National achievement and social and cultural improvement. Thirdly the
development of attitudes of mind and acquired suitable training, which will
make them more amenable to mobilization in the national interest. A also the
central focus of this scheme includes the development of common ties among the
youths and the promotion of national unity by ensuring that the participants in
the scheme are assigned to states other than their states of origin, or
residence, that each group assigned to work together, is as representative of
the country as possible. The participant the equally exposed to the mode of
living of people in different parts of the country with a view to removing
pre-judices, eliminating ignorance, and confirming at first hand the many
similarities among Nigerian’s of all ethnic groups, the encouragement of the
participants in the scheme to seek, at the end of their NYSC service, career
employment all over the country thus promoting the free movement of high level
manpower in the nation, and finally to induce employers to employ more readily
than ever before qualified Nigeria’s irrespective of their state of origin.
Anambra State which is one of the five South East
State was created in 1991
under the military regime of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida to further
enhance Development through manpower procurement, basic infrastructural
facilities and other basic necessary amenity Anambra has first creation in and
second creation in the year 1991 with their capital at Awka. The orientation
camp of NYSC in Anambra is located in Umuanya in Oyi Local Government has ruled
Anambra Since it’s creation. Presently the seat is chaired by Peter Obi of all
progressive grand Alliance “APGA” for second term.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
It has
been observed that some graduates have some misconception about this programme
as provided by federal government. Some graduates for example equate the
programme with holidays jobs or as three weeks picnic. Hence, the aims and the
commitment is lacking and so the skills and experience to be gained may at the
end not be acquired. Infact many of the graduates regards the camp allowances
and monthly “Alawie” stipends as vital.
Again,
there is reluctance among large numbers of employers to accepts and provide
facilities necessary for meaningful service year. Their fear is that must of
these graduates are inexperienced to hand certain delicate machines and tools
without damaging them during their primary assignment, a situation in which
student are not allowed to use certain equipments does not provide the desired
motive needed to prepare them for the task ahead.
Also,
some of these graduates are not supervised during their primary assignment at
all and are not fully secured and protected, as most of them are deployed to a
poor locality. All these are challenges which the scheme should addressed.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The
purpose of the study is to assess critically on the extent of usefulness of
National Youth Service Corps. In order to do this, the research work will aim
at the following.
1.
To find out
whether the graduate participating in NYSC receive full orientation and
training.
2.
To find out
whether the graduates participating in NYSC gain insight into and about
national integration.
3.
To determine
whether NYSC helps to generate pool of indigenous trained manpower to meet the
needs of the country’s economy.
4.
To
investigate whether NYSC has put in adequate machineries to secure and protects
the participating graduates.
5.
To determine
whether the NYSC helps in securing and protecting the participating graduates
in their various places of primary assignment.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
From
the purpose of the study, it was assured that the scheme is completely
different from SIWES, or ordinary long vacation employment of the
under-graduate, it is a preparatory programme NYSC as at the time of it’s
inception was limited to graduates of various institutions of higher in
Nigeria. The scheme has succeeded in establishing a closer collaboration
between institutions and industries, which is essential for preparing and
integrating people ahead of their ethnic and cultural diversity. Heads of
institutions of higher learning in the country have now realized the use
fullness and invaluable contribution of NYSC in training graduates as a means
of improving the quality of skilled manpower in Nigeria. A standard which the limited
resources in the institution cannot provide.
1.5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
In the
process of carrying out this research work, the following research questions
were used to guide the researcher. The study will attempt to answer to the
following questions.
1.
Do graduates
who participates in NYSC receive adequate training and orientation?
2.
Is NYSC
helping in enhancing national integration and unity?
3.
What
machinery has NYSC put in place in generating a pool of indigenous trained
manpower needed by the country?
4.
Do the
participation graduates receive adequate protection during this programme?
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
In as
much as the study is specifically on the critical assessment of National Youth
Service Corps towards enhancing National integration, based on this, there is
need to carry out a comparative research with a particular state in Nigeria.
This
study is limited to Anambra State which is one of the five South East state in
Nigeria. The reason behind this
restriction is that the researcher is a student facing both time and financial
constraints.
