Many social media users described it as “hypocrisy” and “medicine after death” treatment.
Nigerians on social media have reacted to the military aircraft’s airlifting to their home towns of the remains of corps members who recently died in a road accident.Corps members are Nigerian graduates partaking in a mandatory one-year service to the country under the National Youth Service Corps .
The deceased, who were on their way to the NYSC camp in Katsina State, were involved in an accident along Abaji-Kwali Expressway, Abuja. This has sparked a fresh discussion online regarding the scrapping of the scheme as many condemned the after-treatment given to the corps members whose transportation was never arranged by the scheme when they were alive.A Facebook user, Assumpta Nonye Williams wrote: “Why didn’t NYSC provide aircraft for all corps members travelling far? Medicine after death. Now they have been conveyed in an aircraft because they are dead... Rubbish! RIP to them. So painful.
Madubuike Chukwuebuka wrote, “Medicine after death, why must graduates be posted that far from home? Just abolish NYSC.” ”I know death is inevitable, but then on the cause of travelling on the road to be part of this programme, it has brought tears and loss of lives to many Nigerian families.
