Come In HERE And Check How Ghost CORPERS Are To Be Bursted By September by finestsuccess(m): 6:54pm On Sep 03, 2015 |
Abuja – The National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) has developed a biometric data capturing
technology that will help in the nationwide
conduct of weekly and monthly check on corps
members.
The Director-General of the corps, Brig.-Gen.
Johnson Olawumi, said this during the
inauguration and practical demonstration of the
programme at the Kuje Area Council, Abuja.
“It is going to make sure that corps members
stay in their places of primary assignment. It will
reduce the rate at which they travel.
“It will help the core employers to benefit from
the services of these corps members maximally
because they will now remain in their places of
primary assignment.
“We have policies in the scheme that guide
absence from places of primary assignment. For
example – there are certain number of times a
corps member can be absent and such a corps
member – in punishment – the service will be
extended.
“We are not doing this in isolation it is in line
with the policies of the scheme. It is going to
bring transparency and accountability into the
way we do things.
“My staff, who have been conniving with corps
members in the past will not be able to do that
anymore because unless such a corps members
cuts the thumb and gives to anybody to thumb
print for him.“
The DG said that six members of staff were
presently facing possible dismissal from the
scheme after being caught engaging and
conniving with corps members to leave their
places of primary assignment.
He said that the disciplinary measure being
taken was in line with the public service rule and
the NYSC condition of service.
He said that the biometric technology made
provision for corps members who may genuinely
fall sick or have reasons to be away from their
areas of assignments during the course of the
service year.
Olawumi said that the biometrics would first be
deployed for use in Lagos and Abuja adding that
it will be fully adopted by other states of the
federation next year.
“This exercise will start this September with
corps members of batch C 2014 who will be
passing out soon and batch A 2015 and it is
going to start this September in Lagos state and
the entire FCT.
“Batch B 2015, those who will be in Lagos and
FCT this biometrics will be applied for them
throughout their service year. By next year we
will try to extend it to all the other states in the
federation.
“The demonstration, which we are witnessing
today, is part of the second phase of the
computerisation process of the operations of the
NYSC scheme for the purpose of enhancing our
overall performance.
“Let me also allay the fears of some corps
members we are going to make it very user
friendly.
“We are going to do it in such a way that it will
not impose additional or inconvenience on you
than what you face presently.“
He said that the analogue system which was
previously in use promoted unwarranted journey
to schools to collect call-up letters which led to
accidents or loss of letters and in some cases
some persons missed the service year.
The DG urged corps members and staff of the
scheme in states and local governments to
embrace the process with diligence in order to
make it a success.
He said that the service would not tolerate acts
geared towards sabotaging the success of the
program noting that the scheme was working
assiduously to computerize all activities of the
scheme in line with global best practices.
According to Olawumi, by this, the NYSC like
other agencies of government will be positioned
to render seamless, efficient, and effective
service to Nigerians.
The D-G warned corps members wishing to
stage any form of protest either on non-payment
of allowance or other matters to desist from
such endeavor as there was no provision for
such in paramilitary agencies.
He said that corps members caught would be
severely sanctioned and disciplined calling on
states and local governments owing allowances
to corps members to ensure immediate payment.
Olawumi said that the biometric technology was
already in use by the scheme as ID cards of
corps members had chips which were used to
identify and locate them especially in cases of
emergency.
“The package also includes a change in the
certificate they will receive at the end of their
service year. The certificate of national service
will now carry the passport photograph of the
corps member to forestall theft.
“Employers of ex corps members can now login
the NYSC website and verify the certificate and
authenticity of other information presented them”
he added.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Kuje Area Council,
Hon. Ishaku Saban, lauded the hard work and
diligence corps members serving in the council
showed in the discharge of their duties.
He assured the scheme of improvement in
infrastructural development in order to improve
the condition of the people and corps members
living within the area.
Dr. Micheal Ikhide, the Director corps welfare of
the scheme said that the task of effectively
monitoring corp members nationwide had
remained a challenge to management.
Ikhide said the launch of the biometrics would
check cases of absenteeism, submission of
monthly clearance letters by proxy and other
forms of indiscipline among corps members.
