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.
