NYSC still relevant - DG

NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu has said the relevance of the scheme in the integration and National cohesion of the country cannot be underestimated. 

He said the National Youth Service Corps has been serving as a tool for the socio-economic development of the country through the deployment of Corps Members to States outside their States of origin.
He added that by this, Corps Members contribute their quota by making positive impact in the lives of their host communities through the execution of different laudable projects.

Ibrahim, who stated this today in his office in Abuja added that, "NYSC is germane and critical to the unity of the country".

He said NYSC Management has partnered with the security agencies in the country in order to ensure adequate protection for Corps Members during the service year.

He added that Corps Members are always sensitised in camp on the need to be security conscious, not indulging in late night movements and other risky adventures like overnight travelling.
He counselled the Corps Members and prospective Corps Members to break any journey that will take them beyond 6pm.
"Security is everybody's business and security challenge is not limited to NYSC alone.

  We want to appeal to parents to help us also sensitise their children not to endanger their safety.
Every country has challenges but we should turn our challenge into opportunities", lbrahim said.

Speaking on youth empowerment, the Director-General said NYSC Management in 2012 introduced Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Programme into Orientation Course Content which has enabled thousands of Corps Members to acquire vocational skills.

He stated further that the partnership between the Scheme and its stakeholders like the Bank of Industry, Central Bank of Nigeria, Access Bank among others, which offer soft loans to Corps Members has turned many of them to employers of labour and wealth creators today.
The DG also reiterated his call for the establishment of National Youth Service Trust Fund where a certain percentage of the proceeds from private organisations would be used to upgrade and maintain Orientation Camp facilities.
He said the proceed from the Trust Fund will enable Corps Members get a certain amount at the end of their service year to start their business vocations.
