Federal Government will restructure NYSC, says minister

Minister of Youth Development, Jamila Bio-Ibrahim, has said the Federal Government will restructure the National Youth Service Corps to make it a revenue-generating agency and to meet future demands.

“I will be inaugurating a team to undertake the review, restructuring and reform of the NYSC. The first of these reforms will be centred on reviewing participants with an entrepreneurship mindset and making skills development a core of the programme. WHILE warning that the scheme would no longer take lightly the issue of enrolling unqualified graduates, the DG blamed the development on the delegation of duties by heads of institutions on other officers.

Declaring the event open, Minister of Federal Capital Territory , Nyesom Wike, lauded the scheme for consistently symbolising the collective commitment to national development, unity and integration. Managing Director, Metrodigital Limited, the Pay-TV parent company of Silver Lake Television , Ifeanyi Nwafor, has stressed the need for indigenous firms to break the monopoly in the telecom sector and inject more needed competition into the market.
