General Ahmed stated further that a total of Five Million, Nine Hundred and Eighty-One Thousand, Seven Hundred and Eighty One (5,981,781) Nigerian graduates have so far participated in the Scheme since inception.

“We have computerized our operations, especially the mobilization process, with the launch of the NYSC Online Integrated System in 2014.

We have also secured approval for the establishment of NYSC technical College in Gombe State. We will continue to be proactive”, DG said.

The Director General also said NYSC is into collaboration with Governmental and Non-Governmental Organizations and International Agencies with the aim of fast-tracking national development in all sectors through; SDGs Advocacy, HIV/AIDS Awareness, Anti-Corruption Campaigns, Legal Aid, Road Safety among others.
