Shuaibu Ibrahim, the newly appointed director-general of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), officially assumed duty on Friday as the 18th director general, with a five-point agenda to improve the scheme. Ibrahim, while receiving the mantle of leadership from Suleiman Kazaure, the ex-DG, at the NYSC headquarters, Abuja, said top on his agenda is utilising the potential of corps members.
The new DG assured that he would continue to build on the successes and achievements of the former director general by continuing to pursue a technologically-driven organisation. Ibrahim said he would ensure the welfare and security of corps members and staff, adding that while in office, he would strengthen existing collaboration with stakeholders.
The new DG assured that he would restructure the scheme’s ventures in line with the NYSC Act. “It is an honour and privilege that I stand before you here to express my sincere and profound gratitude to God for making today possible,” he said.
“My ardent appreciation goes to the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, Minister of Defence and Chief of Army Staff for finding me worthy to be appointed D-G of this scheme.
