FG approves major NYSC reform, civilian to lead agency

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a comprehensive reform of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), marking the first major overhaul of the scheme since its establishment 53 years ago.   According to Channels Television, the reforms aim to transform the NYSC into a skill-oriented, productivity-driven institution that empowers young Nigerians and supports the Federal Government’s goal of building a $1 trillion economy. As part of the approved changes, the Federal Executive Council directed the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Ministry of Youth to amend the NYSC Act and its regulations to reflect the new framework, allowing for its immediate implementation. A key aspect of the reform is that the NYSC will now be headed by a civilian in its operational leadership. The military will, however, continue to provide security for corps members across the country. The government said the leadership change is intended to reposition the scheme beyond its traditional structure and strengthen its focus on skills development, productivity, and youth empowerment. The NYSC was established by Decree No. 24 of May 22, 1973, following the Nigerian Civil War. It was created to promote national unity, reconciliation, and stronger ties among Nigerian youths through a mandatory one-year national service programme. The scheme is currently headed by Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu. The latest reforms represent the first holistic review of the NYSC since its inception in 1973.
