Olatunji Alausa, Nigeria’s Minister of Education, has proposed that the mandatory one-year National youth service should extended to to two years.
The minister lauded the digitalised process of the National youth service Scheme, NYSC, by the management, saying it had reduced certificates racketeering and forging.
Speaking during a visit by the new Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu visited him in his office in Abuja, Alausa also addressed the protracted exemption of part-time OND graduates from NYSC.
Furthermore, he canvassed “for the extension of national service from one to two years, with the expansion of NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Training programme content for Corps Members.”
“You have done so well as an organisation. Let NYSC give people more opportunity to become job creators that will meet the needs of the country”, he added.
Responding, Nafiu noted that the minister had been an active participant in the feats achieved by the scheme and called for the establishment of a database of Nigerian youths who travel outside the country for further education.
