The Director-General, Brigadier Shuaibu lbrahim congratulated all lndians on the seventy-fifth Independence Anniversary.

He said the NYSC was established to promote national unity and integration as a fall-out of the Nigeria Civil War.

He added that the Scheme is the only agency in the African continent that mobilises so many graduate youths for Service every year.

He promised that the criteria for the selection of Corps Members that would be participate in the anniversary would be transparent.

General Ibrahim informed the Indian diplomat that Corps Members performed creditably during the outbreat of COVID-19 pandemic last year by producing different anti-COVID-19 items such as facemasks, hand sanitizers, liquid soaps, foot-operated water and soap dispensers, among others, which were distributed free to Nigerians nationwide.

He added that it is only in the NYSC that Corps Members are tested for COVID-19, free of charge, after which those that test negative are allowed into the camp, while those that test positive are taken away by officials of the NCDC and state ministries of health for treatment and management.

“Corps Members have been contributing immensely to National Development.

They have lots of potentials, and they have been sensitising Nigerians on the non-pharmaceutical anti-COVID-19 protocols”, he said.

He added that the partnership with NCDC and Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 have assisted the government on data analysis of COVID-19 in Nigeria.

The Director-General said the NYSC was involved in the establishment of similar youth agency in Gambia.
