Speaking earlier, the NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Yushau Dogara Ahmed congratulated the Minister on her appointment.

He said the Scheme has become a household name in Nigeria through its invaluable contributions to national unity and socio-economic development of the country.

General Ahmed added that in its quest to enhance the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme, the Scheme has partnered several agencies like the Central Bank of Nigeria, Access Bank, Unity Bank, Gombe State University, Nasarawa State University, NYSC Foundation among others.

He said the partnership has granted financial empowerment and technical support to some Corps Members as start-up capital to establish their businesses in line with the skills they acquired during service.
