Buhari Celebrates NYSC at 50, Lauds Gowon for Setting It Up – THISDAYLIVE

President Muhammadu Buhari has hailed former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, for the wisdom of setting up the National Youth Service Corps in 1973, which truly achieved the goal of national integration, by providing opportunities for cross cultural interactions and establishing a bridge for improved understanding.

As the nation celebrates the 50th anniversary of the NYSC, the president affirmed that the scheme must be sustained, with a constant reminder of the history, structure and purpose that should not be abused, trivialized or undermined for any reason, by keeping a focus on the larger picture that Nigeria’s unity is a process and a collective responsibility that must not be negotiated.

The president thanked the Nigerian Army, Directors General of the NYSC, and various private and public institutions for providing the enabling environment for the success of the scheme.
