Brig-Gen Yusha’u Ahmed, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), he is doing everything possible to reposition the scheme for better performance in the delivery of its mandate to promote national unity, cohesion, and integration.
The DG spoke in Kaduna at the opening ceremony of the 2023 Batch ‘B’ pre-orientation workshop with the theme “Repositioning the NYSC Orientation Course in the Post-Golden Jubilee Era for Effective National Service”.
According to the DG, the workshop is expected to come up with far-reaching resolutions, especially concerning the issue of policy guidelines for the smooth conduct of the exercise.
“I am pleased to inform you that we are working closely with critical stakeholders towards ensuring the success of the 2023 Batch ‘B’ Orientation Course.
“As was the case with previous Workshops, this forum will come up with far-reaching resolutions and, especially, issue policy guidelines for the smooth conduct of the exercise”, the DG assured participants.
He appreciated the contributions of the Kaduna State Government to the success of NYSC operations in the State and quickly requested the provision of a more befitting orientation camp for the State because the Camp being the first point of call for Corps members will create a lasting impression of the State in their mind.
“May I also use this opportunity to call on other stakeholders to keep faith with the Scheme as we strive towards the transformation of our graduate youths for national development.”
He thanked the Federal Government for its continued support, especially through the prompt release of funds for the Scheme’s operations just as he thanked State Governments, security agencies, traditional rulers and other stakeholders for their immense support.
