The threat of another large-scale protest is real, and the stakes are high. As the country struggles to recover from the previous demonstration, authorities must address the NYSC Corps Members’ grievances immediately.

The clock is ticking, with public sentiment deteriorating rapidly. If authorities fail to act, the consequences will be severe, potentially plunging the country into chaos and unrest.
