Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Shuaibu Ibrahim has stated that the scheme is “critical to the unity of the country”.
According to the NYSC DG, the scheme is not a waste of time.
He added that its relevance in integration and national cohesion must not be underestimated.
This statement was made by the brigadier-general on Wednesday in his office in Abuja.
He said NYSC has been a useful tool for the socio-economic development of the country through the deployment of corps members to states outside their base.
He said the corps members contribute in many ways to the lives of residents of their host communities.
“NYSC is not a waste of time, wherever corps members are posted to, they have been adding value in order to be remembered with good legacies,” Ibrahim said.
