President
Muhammadu Buhari has promised that his government will take all necessary
actions to maintain and improve the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
programme.
This disclosure was made known on
Wednesday after receiving a briefing from officials of the Federal Ministry of
Youth Development led by the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Rabi Jimeta.
According to a statement signed by the spokesperson of the
president, Femi Adesina, the President affirmed his confidence and trust in the
programme, saying that the objective for which the scheme was established in
1973 was still very relevant for national development now.
“I firmly believe in NYSC and I think it should remain a national
programme to promote integration.
“Whenever I go home to Daura, I look out for Corps members from
Lagos, Aba and other parts of the country.
“I am always thrilled to learn that except for the NYSC, some of
them have never left their states of origin to visit other cities in the
country,” President Buhari said.
