NYSC To Be Reformed Into Revenue-Generating Agency – FG

The federal government has announced plans to reform the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to make it a revenue-generating agency

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is going to be reformed by the federal government to become a revenue-generating organization.

This was revealed by Jamila Bio-Ibrahim, the minister of youth development, during her appearance on Channels Television's Sunday Politics program. She stated that FG was developing the plan to take into account the current circumstances in the country, especially with regard to their allowance.

“When it comes to remuneration, we are looking at the holistic funding of the NYSC. You are all aware that we have announced a reform of the NYSC scheme itself. We want the scheme to go beyond being a social programme of the government.

“The reforms will actually transform the NYSC into a revenue-generating agency and prepare corps members for the job market,” Miss Bio added.
