The Commander, Guards Brigade, Brigadier General Adebisi Onasanya has lauded the Management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for mentoring Corps Members for leadership roles and also empowering them with relevant skills toward self-employment.
He said the Scheme’s Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme has increased the number of self-employed graduates in the country, thereby creating employment opportunities for other youths.
NYSC spokesperson Eddy Megwa in a statement stated that the Commander disclosed this during his familiarization visit to the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja.
He particularly expressed satisfaction on the cordial relationship between NYSC and the Guards Brigade but solicited more robust collaboration as the new helmsman of the Brigade.
In his remarks, the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed stated that officers and men of the Brigade have been of tremendous assistance to the Scheme within their areas of operational jurisdiction.
