Senators press for overhaul of NYSC - Infinity Health Tips!

Following the death of three members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), namely Ifedolapo Amoke Oladepo died at the Kano orientation camp in New York, Elechi Chiyerom died at Bayelsa State Orientation Camp and Ukeme Asuquo Died in the Zamfara State orientation camp recently, Senators are called to its revision.

Senators also declared orientation camps across the country unfit for human habitation, in a motion by its chief whip, Olusola Adeyeye.The Senate subsequently resolved and called on the federal government "to improve medical facilities in all our NYSC orientation camps across Nigeria" and "deploy to these medical centers, experienced medical staff.The Senate also mandated its Committee on Sports and Youth Development to conduct a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the three corps members in order to guide future events.Meanwhile, the Senate postponed the selection of the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu.The outgoing president was referred to the Senate five months ago by President Muhammadu Buhari. He was charged before the Red Chamber yesterday for his examination and possible confirmation.Although the acting chair and his team are on the ground for testing, it was not on the Order Paper for Thursday, December 8.Explaining the rationale for the postponement of the plenary, Deputy Leader of the Senate, Bala Ibn-Na'Allah, said that calls from legislators who are currently outside Abuja required his postponement.Na'Allah told reporters that the leadership of the Senate agreed to begin the exercise on Thursday, 15 December, and that a former letter has been sent to Magu and other EFCC Council members for this purpose."The Senate is normally guided by a work schedule. We agreed that yesterday would be the confirmation hearing of CCCB Interim President Magu, but we have received many calls from absent senators who believe they want to participate and that it is unfair to us To fix it when we knew they were not around."When we looked at the requests and the number, we felt it would be wrong for us to proceed. We said screening should be done next Thursday.Again, we have become too uncertain as to whether the federal government would declare Monday or Tuesday the holiday, with regard to the imminent feast of Eid-Malud."We have since written an official letter to the interim president giving him that Thursday will be the day for the confirmation hearing of his appointment."The Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, announced Wednesday that Magu's confirmation hearing would begin yesterday. He made this disclosure at the end of the plenary.Mr. Magu was appointed by President Buhari on November 9, 2015, following the bag of his predecessor, Ibrahim Lamorde. He has since acted.Magu, who is a police officer on duty, was the head of the economic governance unit of the commission. Magu, if confirmed by the Senate, will be the fourth head of the anti-graft agency, after Nuhu Ribadu, Farida Waziri and Lamorde. Like others, all the heads of the EFCC are from the north.There have been controversies over the delay in its confirmation by the Senate. When its letter was read by the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki in July, it was not referred to the Standing Committee on Combating Corruption and Financial Crime. The Senate questions the relevance of the NYSC, calls for revisionFrom FRED ITUA, Abuja

Senator Adeyeye argued in his motion: "The death of body members has become a recurring decimal in almost every NYSC camp across the country. Experienced medical staff is virtually non-existent in all our orientation camps across the country as fresh doctors who have no accumulated experience are those who administer treatments to body members."Medical facilities at most Orientation camps leave much to be desired as deceased, Ifedolapo called home five hours to his death and said his older sister, Mrs. Oyeyode Abimbola (a nurse) to start coming to His Kano orientation camp, alleging poor care at the NYSC camp."An orientation camp with over three thousand body members can not boast of modern facilities to meet the needs of body members while undergoing the mandatory guidance program."NYSC officials are not in place and do their official duties because they expose these body members to all dangers.I firmly believe that NYSC needs a total overhaul,Ulier its health system. "In his contribution, Senator Senator Minority Leader, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, said," This is a sad moment for us, and what I heard confirms what I thought was speculation, May be unintentional, but I think it was an act of irresponsibility.How to not provide medical attention to a sick person ?, we look forward to the result of the investigation ". An example should be established. At the very least, it is a barbaric act. This calls for a rethinking of the New York Fa. Is it really worth going to die in an orientation camp? Politicians use these same body members to organize elections and we do not value their lives. "The senator born in Adamawa Binta Garba also supported the appeal:" It is time to look at and recast the NYSC as a government agency. We must think that NYSC is still necessary in this country. If someone says he or she is sick, why are not they going to attend the person? From what we've seen, we have to revise the NYSC. The Speaker of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, said in his closing speech: "We need to address the issue of health services in orientation camps. This is an issue we should be addressing in the 2017 budget. "
