The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says plans are underway to establish a radio station as part of its strategy to improve communication between the corps and members of the public.

The NYSC Director-General, Maj.-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, disclosed this in Abuja on Tuesday at the “2018 NYSC Press and Public Relations Officers Workshop”.

Kazaure said the radio also aimed at meeting the needs of the increasing corps population.

He said that the establishment of the radio station would expand the NYSC’s public relations tools and enlighten Nigerians on the corps’ operations and achievements.

“I am happy to inform you that in furtherance of management’s resolve to expand our public relations tools and get Nigerians to be more aware of our operations and achievements we are exploring the possibility of establishing a radio station for the NYSC.

“This is part of our communication strategies in response to the rapid growth in corps population and increased stakeholder expectations.

“Given the fact that young graduates are part of our primary stakeholders, we must avail the scheme of the benefits of the various social media platforms which the youths find so appealing.

“I wish to therefore caution the social media team of the NYSC both at the state secretariat and the national headquarters to handle their assignments in the most professional way possible.

“This is to avoid any backlash that could result from posting inappropriate content,” Kazaure said.
