FG begins overhaul of NYSC scheme, plans teachers’, medical corps

The Federal Government has set up a committee to carry out major changes to the National Youth Service Corps.
The goal is to make the scheme stronger, more useful to national growth, and better suited to the needs of Nigerian youths.
This decision followed rising concerns about the safety of corps members, poor facilities, and whether the NYSC still fits into today’s social and economic realities.
The inauguration of the committee happened in Abuja on Tuesday, with key people from government, civil society, and private businesses in attendance.
Speaking at the event, the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, said the NYSC has played an important role in building national unity and helping young people since 1973.
He said, “The issues of corps members’ safety, infrastructural challenges, and the broader question of the scheme’s relevance in an increasingly dynamic socio-economic environment are among the key concerns. However, these challenges also present opportunities that require urgent, visionary, and determined action.”
Olawande said the committee will look into how NYSC works and suggest ways to make it safer, more creative, and more impactful.
“The outcome of this review must align with broader national development objectives, positioning the NYSC as a strategic tool for youth empowerment and nation-building,” he added.
