Stakeholders’ Poor Support Affecting NYSC – Gen. Fadah

Stakeholders’ Poor Support Affecting NYSC – Gen. Fadah

The Federal Government has urged States and Local Governments including other stakeholders in the country to provide their statutory responsibilities for the National Youth Service Corps.

It said the non-performance of some stakeholders is adversely impeding the effective performance of the Scheme.

The FCT Minister, Alhaji Muhammad Musa Bello stated this  in his address today while declaring open, the 2022 NYSC National Governing Board Meeting with the 36 Chairmen of the NYSC State Governing Boards including FCT held in Abuja.

He said NYSC is a strategic National institution which has continued to remain relevant by harnessing the potentials of Corps Members for national development.

The Minister who was represented by the Chairman, NYSC FCT Governing Board and Mandate Secretary, Hajia Hadiza Muhammed Kabir commended the performances of successive batches of Corps Members during national assignments like elections, immunization against polio, hepatitis, meningitis, population and housing census among others.

He added the Federal Capital Territory  Administration would continue to perform its statutory roles for NYSC.

“My administration has approved the construction of a new Permanent Orientation Camp in Kwali, while a new Secretariat Complex is also underway in pursuance of this administration’s determination to ease the operations of the Scheme in the FCT.

I have also issued a directive against the prevalent challenge of Corps Members within the FCT so reduce the prevalent  challenge of Corps rejection which is of a great challenge to the Management of the Scheme.

May I reiterate that NYSC Scheme is the responsibility of Governments at all levels and must not be in the care of only one,” the FCT Minister said.

Alhaji Bello stated further that one of the key responsibilities of all tiers of government is to ensure that youths are enabled with veritable platforms to contribute their quota national development while also preparing them for future leadership roles.

He added that NYSC provides the platform and should therefore be supported by all concerned stakeholders to achieve its mandate. He urged participants at the meeting to evolve strategic ideas that will elicit improved performance of all stakeholders in the discharge of their constitutional roles to the Scheme.

In his goodwill message, the Minister for Youth and Sports Development, Mr Sunday Dare whose address was read by Malam Jafar Musa added that the contributions of the NYSC to national growth since inception, especially in the areas of health, agriculture, infrastructural  development, education, national unity and among others cannot be over-emphasised.

Dare emphasized that the Scheme has been committed to advancing the socio-economic growth of the country through the establishment of developmental programmes like NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme, NYSC Ventures such as the rice producing factories, the NYSC bakeries and water factories, the NYSC Printing Press and others through which the Scheme generates revenue to the Federal Government in line with its mandate.

“May l at this juncture call on Governments  at all levels and other stakeholders to accord the Scheme all the needed support to ensure its success in all ramifications”, Dare added.

The NYSC National Governing Board Chairman, Ambassador Fatima Balla Abubakar in her address said the meeting was organised to stimulate greater synergy between the NYSC National Governing Board and its counterparts at the States level for the advancement of the Scheme’s operations.

She hinted that the NYSC Scheme in its almost fifty years of existence has achieved a lot in contributing to the socio-economic development of the county, but added that a lot have to be done to enable it fully  accomplish its objectives.

“While some stakeholders such as the Federal Government and a number of States are functional in the discharge of their obligations to the Scheme, the performance of others leave much to be desired as they abandon their statutory obligations to the Scheme as stipulated by the NYSC Act.

We have witnessed negligence and lack of commitment  in areas such as the provision of Permanent Orientation Camps, upgrade of facilities  in Orientation Camps,  establishment of NYSC State Governing Boards and Local Government Committees, payment  of State Allowances to Corps Members, release of statutory  State Subvention to  State Seçretariats, provision of office accommodation for NYSC State Secretariats,  provision of Corps Lodges among others which hamper the smooth conduct of our operations.

Our target is to sensitize and re-energize ourselves  for improved performance as the Boards of the NYSC at all levels to ensure optimal achievement  of the Scheme’s mandate”, Balla said.

There were goodwill messages from the Director General, Association of Local Government Chairmen of Nigeria (ALGON), Mrs Hajia Binta A. Bello and the Director General, Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Dr Asishana Okauru.

In his vote of thanks, the NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Muhammad Kaku Fadah commended the State Governments that been performing their statutory responsibilities to the the Scheme while he also appealed to others to put in more efforts.
