NYSC D.G- No intention to scrap the scheme

   Gen. Zuleman Kazaure, the Director-General, National Youth Service    Corps, NYSC, yesterday said there was no intention to scrap the scheme.

    Kazaure disclosed this at Issele-Uku, Delta, during a visit to the camp.

   SuleKazaure took over as the 17th DG of the scheme, promising to priotise welfare of corps members and the staff.

   He said that the NYSC period in the life of an individual was a period of stop gap and period to differentiate between fantasy and reality.

   Kazaure said that the scheme was created after the three years of the civil war with the sole aim of national integration and since its creation, NYSC had performed wonderfully well in the area of education, healthcare delivery and increased literacy.

   The NYSC DG, however, advised the corps members to stay in their places of primary assignment, avoid unnecessary traveling and worked hard to bag awards.

   Earlier, the Delta Coordinator, Benjamin Omotade, said that camping activities commenced on a promising note.
