Nigeria’s graduates vulnerable to kidnapping

from Business Daily · host BBC World Service

Kidnapping is endemic in nearly all parts of Nigeria, as shown by the recent high profile mass abduction and release of nearly 300 schoolchildren. And for young Nigerians who are taking part in the national youth service programme - NYSC - they are particularly vulnerable as they travel to their postings along the country's long rural roads. Service is mandatory if you want to use your degree - but are the risks just too great now? And what impact does it have on young people’s futures?Produced and presented by Frey Lindsay(Image: National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members in Ogun State, in 2019. Credit: Getty Images)
