Gen Ibrahim expressed profound gratitude to the Management of NSPM for being a leading employer of Corps Services, thereby providing a platform for Corps Members to acquire Skills for reliance.

According to the NYSC helmsman;

“The NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme is a sure way of addressing the problem of post service unemployment, and has the capacity of stimulating positive multiplier effects in the nation’s economy”

He further stated that NYSC Management had proposed a trust fund which had passed first and second readings, as well as public hearing at the National Assembly.
