NYSC Introduces A New SAED Programme For Corps Members by FavoredGuy: 4:06pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
The National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) has introduced different
skills acquisition programmes to
prepare corps members for life
after the scheme.
The State Coordinator of the NYSC
in Ondo State, Mr James Olugbodi,
said this while flagging off the
Skills Acquisition and
Entrepreneurship Development
(SAED) on Monday at the NYSC
orientation camp, Ikare-Akoko.
Olugbodi at the programme said
he was happy with the vision of
the Director-General of the
scheme, Brig.-Gen. Suleiman
Kazaure, for planning life after
“Allawee” for corps members.
He said different programmes
like bead making, cosmetology,
agro-allied businesses, event
management, shoe making, and
so on, would be thought over by
different facilitators who were
also former corps members as
well.
Olugbodi pleaded that the
programme should be keyed into
by the corps members because
white collar jobs were hard to get
nowadays.
“The NYSC thought the best way
is to teach corps members skills
on how they will be able to stand
alone, when the monthly
allowance stops after service.
“This will help to solve the
problem of unemployment, to
some extent, in the country.
“The one we are doing in camp is
like an introduction, after they are
posted out of the camp, they will
be given a list of our facilitators in
the various local governments to
continue the training,” he said.
Olugbodi charged corps members
to be encouraged and to key into
the skills acquisition programme.
Mrs Ehimwenma Itohan, an
Assistant Director, SAED in the
state, said the programme was
one of the major ones to be run in
the orientation camp.
Itohan said the programme was
divided into two phases, the
camp training and the post-camp
training.
She also said that the training
was not optional, as most of the
corps members didn’t know what
will happen after the scheme,
saying, “they can easily embark
on skills acquired’’.
“It comprises of learning soft skills
and the proper training itself
through facilitators. It is not
optional, it’s part of camp
activities which they must
embrace,” she said.
Also speaking at the event, Mrs
Jennifer Dawodu, Head of SAED at
the camp, said corps members
must always think of what they
could give back to the society and
not the other way round.
Dawodu said banks would be
approaching the corps members
to give soft loans to help them to
invest in any of the acquired skills
and to start businesses of their
own.
She said the loans ranged from
N10, 000 to N100, 000.
“We want our corps members to
be self-reliant. Your parents have
tried to take care of you up to this
stage, so they should not be a
disappointment by going back
home after service and be
collecting money from them,” she
added. (NAN). Source; Vanguardngr.com |

Nothing has changed this are part of the program formally embarks on by SAED. The problem of saed is lack of coordination and man power to cater for the large numbers of Corper members in camp
