#NYSC scheme will be sustained — Minister - vanguard

Mr Solomon Dalong, Minister of Youths, Sports and Social Development, said on Tuesday in Lagos that the Federal Government would sustain the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.

Dalong stated this when he paid an official visit to the NYSC Orientation Camp at Iyana-Ipaja, in Lagos State.

“I will stand for the sustenance of the scheme and that it should continue to grow.
“What we need to do now is introduce skills acquisition, empowerment; we need to now repackage the scheme.

“At the level of the Federal Government, we are thinking of after the mandatory one year service, those who want to learn a trade, skills acquisition and entrepreneurship can be retained and be given more training.

“Our graduates are enlightening minds, whatever you teach them, they will survive with it.
“So a grant will be given to them at the end to start off and train other people,’’ he said.
