She said the partnership would identify, nurture and harness the talents and skills of youths, thereby reducing unemployment in the country.
In a statement, she also said the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and support from foreign investors would catalyse economic growth, skills development, job creation, empowerment of Nigerian youths, national unity, and improve the living standard and welfare of Nigerians.
Labinjo-Ajayi recalled that the implementation committee of the project was recently inaugurated.
She said the inauguration was critical to achieving national growth as outlined in the Renewed Hope of Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Her words: “The inauguration of this committee is a strategic step toward achieving national goals. The partnership aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu, as it focuses on initiatives such as the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Conversion Centre and affordable housing projects. The inauguration of the Project Implementation Committee represents a major step forward in our collaborative efforts to drive economic growth, skills development, job creation and national unity.”
The NYSC Director-General, Brig.-Gen. Yusha’u Ahmed, represented by the Director of Legal Services, Christopher Ogar, said the collaboration would be beneficial and extend beyond primary assignments to equipping corps members with knowledge of the oil and gas sector.
