Kate Henshaw advocates for the NYSC to be abolished because it "stops putting young lives at risk."

In light of the safety of corps members, seasoned Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has urged for the elimination of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program.

Recall that eight NYSC participants were recently abducted in Zamfara State along a highway.

Henshaw responded on Twitter on Wednesday, saying that the plan should be abandoned because the security of Corps members was no longer assured.

She pleaded with the authorities to "stop endangering the lives of young people with stale ideas."

Thespian: "My time serving in the North was a truly special experience. It was safe to drive to the airport from Bauchi and fly to Lagos using only my NYSC ID card, which also qualified me for a ticket discount.

"Since corpers cannot freely travel within this country, this idea ought to be abandoned!

Stop putting young people's life in danger with outdated concepts. Security is a top priority that must be fully resolved, not only technically.
