The Federal Government of Nigeria has set up a committee to reform the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in a bid to strengthen its impact on national development. According to the government, the reform aims to make the NYSC programme more effective and beneficial to corps members and the nation as a whole.
Officials stated that the NYSC reform will ensure the scheme not only remains a strong symbol of national unity but also evolves into “a strategic national workforce pipeline and a skills empowerment engine.” The initiative is part of efforts to align the NYSC with Nigeria’s economic transformation agenda.
To promote inclusiveness, the committee is conducting a nationwide survey to gather honest opinions and suggestions from young Nigerians. “Your responses will directly contribute to shaping recommendations for a renewed NYSC scheme that works for everyone involved and aligns with the President’s vision of building a trillion-dollar economy by 2030,” the statement added.
