The chairman of the governing board of the National Youth Service Corps, Godom Bozimo, says there is no budgetary allocation for the recently introduced NYSC online registration.

He told journalists in Abuja Sunday during the launching of four coaster buses donated to the scheme by stakeholders that N4, 000 was too little for parents to get their children registered.

He argued that it was not the responsibility of the government to get prospective corps members registered for the national service programme.

 “Ask yourself, how much will it cost you to send your wards from one part of the country to another to collect his or her call-up letter? The fee alone is more than N4,000, we all sent our children through school and the NYSC, and I know how much it costs. N4,000 is so little compared to what parents spend now and the federal government doesn’t have a budget for that,” he said.

Bozimo said that the launch of the buses indicated that the NYSC management was concerned about the welfare of its staff.
