In order to ensure that corps members obtain work experience
relevant to their academic qualifications, the management of
the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) would from the
next batch of positing rescind its decision to send corps
members to serve in schools only.
Graduates of medicine would therefore be posted to hospitals
and health centers, law graduates would be posted to
Ministries of Justice, law chambers and Legal-based NGOs,
just like others would be posted to organisations where their
academic qualifications would be deployed to use. Graduates
of Education and single honours would be deployed to schools
under the new policy.
The policy was adopted last year after the realisation that
most organisations, especially in the private sector, take
advantage of the scheme to keep their wage bill low as they
do not make any effort to retain any corps members who
served with them; rather they would throw them into the
labour market and demand for fresh corps members .
The Chairman of the Board of the NYSC, Chief Gordon
Bozimo, made this disclosure in an exclusive interview with
THISDAY where he noted that the NYSC would not allow
private sector organisations to take advantage of its CMs
anymore.
This, he added, would be done through the demand and
signing of an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with any
private sector organisation that demands for corps members to
retain a certain percentage of the corps members at the end of
the service year.
“If an organisation writes us to send corps members to them,
it means they have need for manpower; these are graduates,
they are educated, they are not clerks, so if we are send 50
corps members , the organisation would sign an MoU to retain
at least, let’s say 30 percent. That will also make the corps
members know they have something at stake, they have to
show good example and work hard,” he said.
This arrangement, he clarified does not, however, mean that
such CMs at the end of their service year would not undergo
the aptitude tests of the organisations if they have those as
requirement for full employment.
Bozimo added that it is counter-productive to send a doctor to
teach in a school as a year of teaching cannot be considered as
relatable work experience for such doctor.
“In some schools, you get more corps members than full time
teachers, so we are hoping that by the next batch, we would
send corps members to where their expertise would be
appropriate," he added.
The Board Chairman disclosed that the NYSC is working with
state governments to improve the living conditions in the
camps that need improvements especially in terms of security,
power and water supply to the camps.
