Fifty years after its establishment, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme has remained a beacon of hope for uniting Nigeria.

 

This is according to Governor Uba Sani, who was represented by Umar Waziri, his Special Adviser on Revenue Matters, at the official swearing-in ceremony of corps members of the 2023 batch ‘C’ stream ‘ll’ Orientation course in Kaduna.

 

The governor said the NYSC has exposed millions of youths to the diverse cultures and traditions of the different ethnic nationalities that constitute Nigeria.

 

He urged the Corps members to make individual and collective contributions to national growth and development while serving in Kaduna State and the nation at large.

 

Earlier, the Coordinator of NYSC in Kaduna, Mr Hassan Taura, said 1,401 corps members comprising 716 males and 685 females were registered who are graduates from different universities and are ready to serve their father land.
