The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC has commended the Federal Government, FG, for its commitments towards the scheme.
This was conveyed through a press statement disseminated via its official Facebook account, National Youth Service Corps- NYSC, issued by the Scheme’s Director of Press and Public Relations Mrs Adenike Adeyemi in Commemoration of its 50th Anniversary.
The statement reads in part, “the Federal and State Governments deserve all accolades for ensuring that the scheme did not go under, rather, through commitment, funding and various expansion programmes, the youth scheme is recognised as the Government’s intentional programme designed to reconstruct and reconcile the Nation.”
Commenting on the achievements realized by the scheme from the past decades, the Scheme stated that, the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development, SAED Programme and other innovative Programmes created by the Scheme has promoted self reliance and facilitate employment amongst the Youth.
It states, “As the Global Stage grows and improves, the scheme has always added life-changing skills and pieces of training that make our youths globally competitive. Regularly in the works are intentional attempts to modify and expand on the embedded pieces of training and socio-economic development programmers carried out by the scheme.
“Programmes such as Information and Communications Technology [ICT] trainings, Skills acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development [SAED], Financial Education, Business Development, Volunteerism, Leadership and Nation Building have been progressively added to the Scheme’s training schedules.”
