The minister, noted that the theme of the workshop, “Strengthening the NYSC mobilization process for effective service delivery” resonates deeply with the aspirations of the national vision.

She urged stakeholders to critically contribute to shaping the experiences of young Nigerian graduates, by ensuring that they are equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge, and mindset to contribute positively to the society.

She said, ” We are in a dynamic world where the needs of our communities are evolving rapidly.”

“Therefore, our prospective corps members must be prepared to meet these challenges with creativity, resilience, and the spirit of innovation.”

“This workshop is an opportunity to share best practices, explore new ideas, and collaborate on strategies that will enhance the effectiveness of the NYSC programme.”

The minister further commended the leadership of the NYSC for their unwavering commitment to improving the quality of service rendered by corps members.

“Your dedication to training and preparing our youth for the responsibilities they will undertake is commendable. By investing in their development, we are investing in the future of Nigeria,” she stressed.

The NYSC Director General, Brig Gen. Yusha’u Ahmed, stated that over the years, the NYSC programme has been the vanguard of nation building, fostering unity among the different nationalities as well as playing a critical role in national development.

According to him, “the imprints of the scheme are all over the landscape of our nation, from the megacities to the very rural communities of Nigeria.”

Ahmed emphasized that the mobilization process is a very critical component of the service year that deserves all seriousness, adding that the place of effective service delivery in a successful mobilization process cannot be overemphasized.

The Director General, reiterated the management’s commitment to ensuring that the right things are done at all times from the beginning to the end of the mobilization process.
