    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to make my contribution to this Motion. I wish to thank Sen. Elachi for bringing the Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to mention a few things regarding the provision of skills to our youth. I think that this is a very important thing, that we have ignored for a long time or approached wrongly. In 1983, the youth of this country who were to join the university were taken to the National Youth Service (NYS), but the approach was punitive. Therefore, the ideology of going to the NYS in this country is negative, because of the negativity that was associated with it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the creation of skills among our youth is a very important thing. This is because there are so many skills within our youth that we have not exposed. Even the seat that you are sitting on there was made by a skilled individual, but in difficult circumstances. We have tried to create skills through the wrong means. The NYS is punitive and the other skills are developed in the prisons. The seats in the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
