Private entities will be required to contribute one per cent of their profits to the fund if the bill becomes a law.

The bill, sponsored by Mayowa Akinfolarin , seeks to compel all organised private entities to contribute one per cent of their net profit to the fund. In addition, 0.2 per cent of total revenue accruing to the federation account will fund the entity.

This bill is coming amidst renewed call for the scrapping of the NYSC due to the general insecurity in the country, which has subjected corps members to risk. The scheme was set in 1973 by the Yakubu Gowon administration as part of strategies to foster unity in the post-civil war era. It was established by Decree 24.

Director-General of the NYSC, Shuaibu Ibrahim, a brigadier general, has also been soliciting support for the fund.
