Court Dismisses Law Suit to Abolish NYSC
Nigeria Newspapers – Justice Jonathan Shakarho of the Ibadan Federal High Court sitting has dismissed the law suit filed by Oluwole Aluko to invalidate the NYSC.
Due to the killings of corps members in the North, Oluwole Aluko (an Ibadan-based legal practitioner) had on May 6 filed a suit against the President and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to be invalidated.
The plaintiff further argued that the NYSC Act was inferior to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights, and ought to be abolished.
Justice Shakarho said the suit failed to comply with the NYSC Act, which states that “anyone who is aggrieved by the scheme or anything done under it to first appeal to the Presidency before any action can be commenced in any court of law in the country”
