Starting
from 2014 Batch B, prospective National Youth Service Corp, NYSC, members will
henceforth collect their mobilisation call-up letters for orientation online.
The exercise is aimed at alleviating
prospective corps’ members from traveling from their states of domicile after
graduation to their schools in order to collect the call-up letters.
Director-General, DG, of the NYSC,
Brig.-Gen. Johnson Olawumi, gave the hint yesterday, during the
pre-mobilisation seminar in preparation for 2014 Batch B in Enugu.
Oluwumi said: “It is for automation for
mobilisation process for NYSC. The mobilisation process will be done through
automation that a graduate from a school in Sokoto, for example, would not have
to go to Sokoto to collect his call-up letter. All that will be done online.”
He also said that the agency was widening
its scope of primary assignment from the four key areas of posting corps
members to accommodate other sectors so as to reduce the rate of rejection of
corps members.
He listed the new areas to include the
banking sector, Oil and Gas, Telecommunication, among others.
Oluwumi stated that because of insecurity
in some states of the North- East where there is emergency rule, the NYSC does
not post corps members to states, except on demand.
The workshop tagged, “Consolidating
Effective Strategies for a Credible Mobilisation process”, is expected to
provide a platform for interfacing between NYSC and corps producing
institutions geared towards re-engineering the scheme for optimum operations.
Addressing the participants, Gen. Olawumi
said, “The management will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the vast
human resources at the disposal of the scheme is appropriately deployed to all
areas of need within the state.
