Omoyele Sowore, an African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, says he would abolish Nigeria’s Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and scrap the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) if elected president. In his statements, Sowore argues that higher education admissions should be determined through a merit-based system rather than through JAMB. He also calls for replacing the NYSC scheme with an alternative approach, describing it as voluntary job-linked service, rather than the current compulsory national service structure. Both reports frame the pledges as part of Sowore’s campaign promises and cite his remarks made publicly, including posts on social media. The coverage does not include details from opposing parties or government officials on how such changes would be implemented, nor does it provide timelines for proposed reforms. The articles focus mainly on Sowore’s stated intentions to restructure admissions and national youth service policy if he wins the election.
