NYSC 50: FG set to improve welfare, allowances of corps members | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
Mr Sunday Dare, the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, revealed this on Monday in Abuja, while fielding questions from newsmen after the inauguration of the NYSC@50 anniversary committee.
“So, those are areas that are covered and we believe that this committee will also make recommendations on reforms and improvement not just for the welfare, but also for the system of the NYSC that keeps that engine running.” “It is gratifying to note that the SAED programme of the scheme is stirring the interest of corps members for self-employment and wealth creation.
“Overall, the scheme has been able to pass close to eight million corps members in our country and I think that is a measure of success.” “It is also expected to call for entries from corps members for logo and mascot to commemorate the anniversary,” the minister said. The NYSC Director-General, Brig.-Gen. Yusha’u Ahmed, said that the positive roles of successive batches of corps members in the credible conduct of elections in the country was worthy of commendation.
