The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says collaboration with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) will simplify biometric verification for prospective corps members nationwide.
The scheme said the partnership would also enable seamless registration through ongoing technology-driven reforms aimed at improving service delivery and reducing bottlenecks in mobilisation processes.
Director-General of NYSC, Olakunle Nafiu, a brigadier-general, said this during a forum with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja ahead of NYSC’s 53rd anniversary celebration scheduled for 22 May.
He said the partnership formed part of efforts to deepen digital reforms within the scheme, adding that registration, mobilisation, payments and record-keeping processes had become largely digitised to improve operational efficiency nationwide.
“We are trying to move with technology so that registration processes will be easier for corps members. Some go to register and wait for hours in designated cybercafes or shops.
