The Director General of the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim has said that despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the scheme would continued to operate effectively in line with the established safety and protocols.
The Director General who reaffirmed this yesterday in Abuja during the 2022 NYSC annual management conference with a theme “repositioning the NYSC for improved healthcare delivery, revenue generation and corps employment for self-reliance”, said the scheme has been working closely with Presidential Steering Committee on Covid 19, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control as well as Federal Ministry of Health for safe and efficient conduct of orientation courses.
He added that the contributions of the Scheme to national development, particularly in the areas of health, education, rural infrastructure, culture and tourism, sports, conduct of elections and job creation have attracted commendations from within and outside the country.
Ibrahim noted that the Scheme’s accomplishments are also being showcased through “our in-house news magazine, print and electronic media and the newly established NYSC Museum/Archives.”
