The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has expressed concern over the increasing rate at which corps members are being rejected by their assigned employers.
The Director-General of the NYSC, Brig.-Gen Olakunle Nafiu, raised the issue today in Jos during the 2025 Annual NYSC Corps Employers’ Workshop.
Represented by Mrs Gbamisola Salami, the NYSC Deputy Director for the North-Central Zone, Nafiu emphasised that corps employers played a crucial role in shaping the overall experience of corps members during their service year.
“Your organisations provide a platform for corps members to apply their skills, gain practical experience, and develop their professional capacities,” he said.
Nafiu, however, lamented that the rising cases of corps members being rejected by employers often prevent them from gaining valuable experiences at those establishments.
