Why we lifted restrictions on posting of NYSC members – Minister

According to him, the current NYSC posting policy, established during the tenure of former Minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, limited postings to four sectors: Education, Agriculture, Health, and Infrastructure. He said that the argument of Abdullahi at the time was that while the government was funding the NYSC, many private organisations were no longer employing because of the easy access to cheap corps labour, “As we battle unemployment crisis, there is an urgent need to review this policy in order to expand the opportunity and access for corps members to serve in places that are relevant to their areas of study.
