Minister Of Education Wants NYSC Extended For Two Years

Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, has advocated for the extension of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) service year to two years. He praised the scheme for its digitalized process, which has significantly helped in curbing certificate racketeering among some foreign-trained graduates within West Africa.

Additionally, the Minister addressed the ongoing issue of OND part-time graduates with full-time HND who were previously exempted from National Service.

He made these remarks on Friday during a courtesy visit from the new Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, in his office in Abuja.

The Minister advocated

“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 organization. Let NYSC give people more opportunity to become job creators that will meet the needs of the country”, he said.

General Nafiu had earlier lauded the minister, saying he has been innovative and has achieved giant strides in the education sector.

He called for the establishment of a database of Nigerian youths going abroad for degree programmes.
