One of the sad stories that coloured 2016 was the tragic deaths of young Nigerian graduates mobilised for the NYSC – a mandatory one year scheme by the Federal Government where youths are dispatched to various states, communities in service of their 'fatherland'. The scheme has overtime been plagued with deaths of young graduates, either brazenly maimed by hoodlums during elections or involved in a ghastly accident. Some (as was the recent case of Ifedolapo Oladepo) died as a result of NYSC negligence and ill-treatment. 2016 saw the death of these youngsters, causing everlasting grief for their families, relations, and the nation. They include:
1. LAUTECH First Class Graduate, Ifedolapo Oladepo

Like many thousands of young graduates mobilised for the 2016 Batch ‘C’ service year, 26-year-old Ifedolapo, had said her goodbye to her family members, hoping to see her dreams fulfilled but that dreams were shattered.
Exactly a week in the Camp, it was her corpse that was brought to her family after she was said to have died following complications arising from an ailment few days into the NYSC orientation programme in Anambra. The remains of Ifedolapo was sent to her parents in Osogbo, Osun State, from Kano where she was buried at her family’s residence.
