By Kator Terseer, Jalingo
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Thursday held a workshop to strengthen partnerships between the scheme and corps members’ employers in Taraba State.
The workshop, which took place at the Taraba State Polytechnic in Jalingo, brought together stakeholders to discuss challenges and successes to enhance the effectiveness of the scheme.
Director General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, emphasized the importance of collaboration between the scheme, corps members, and employers in achieving the scheme’s objectives, nothing that the workshop’s key objectives include identifying areas for improvement, addressing challenges, and developing strategies for effective service delivery.
Represented by the the Deputy Director, North East Area Office II, Gabriel Watsu, he described the NYSC and Corps Employers’ Workshop as a key event in nation building.
“You must hammer out more effective formats of communication among our organizations and come up with implementable solutions to the numerous problems that challenge corps administration and proffer solutions.
“From addressing grey areas to enhancing healthy relationships between our various organisations, the workshops always produce ideas and recommendations that are factored into the operations of the Scheme.
“I am convinced that the 2025 workshop would not be any different,” said the DG
Earlier, the Taraba State Coordinator of NYSC, Mr Ella Aji Williams, noted that the NYSC is dedicated to fostering mutual growth and development, adding that it is through meaningful partnerships with corps members’ employers that the scheme could truly maximize these endeavours.
“Strengthening our partnership is not merely a desirable goal but a necessity for fostering empowerment, innovation, and social responsibility.
“Throughout this workshop, we will engage in critical discussions, share experiences, and explore best practices that will help us strengthen our bonds and enhance the effectiveness of the NYSC in serving both corps members and the labour market,” he said.
