The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps , Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, has identified inadequate funding as the major challenge hampering the scheme’s Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme.
He said: “The scheme will not rest on its oars in its quest to sustain and build on the achievements made within the last one year towards making corps members employers of labour. Ibrahim urged participants at the training to make deliberations that would lead to the expansion of the existing collaborations as well as developing new ones.
He said: “Despite the effects of COVID-19 pandemic, the scheme made a positive difference and improved the scorecard of the NYSC SAED initiative.”
