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-Genera l, DG, of the
NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Johnson
Olawumi, gave the hint
yesterday, during the pre-
mobilisatio n 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.
