Yinka Kolawole in Osogbo
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has commended the federal government’s comprehensive reform of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), describing it as a bold initiative to reposition the scheme as a skills-driven platform for youth empowerment and national development.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo, Osun State, Oyintiloye said the reform aligns with the federal government’s vision of building a $1 trillion economy by strengthening the capacity of young Nigerian graduates and equipping them with skills relevant to the modern labour market.
He said the newly introduced service streams are designed to provide graduates with practical skills tailored to their academic backgrounds, career interests and the needs of Nigeria’s workforce.
