President Muhammadu Buhari has pledged that his administration will take all necessary actions to maintain and improve the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme as a functional vehicle for the promotion of national unity and integration.
President Buhari gave the assurance on Wednesday after receiving a briefing from officials of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development led by the Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Rabi Jimeta, a statement from the presidency signed by Femi Adesina says.
The President affirmed his confidence and trust in the programme, saying that the objective for which the scheme was established in 1973 was still very relevant for national development now.
"I firmly believe in NYSC and I think it should remain a national programme to promote integration.
"Whenever I go home to Daura, I look out for Corps members from Lagos, Aba and other parts of the country.
"I am always thrilled to learn that except for the NYSC, some of them have never left their states of origin to visit other cities in the country," President Buhari said.
