FEC Approves Reform of NYSC

News Update

THE Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a holistic reform of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

This is the first review of the agency in its 53-year history.

As part of the approval, FEC directed the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Ministry of Youth to amend the NYSC Act and its regulations to reflect all the approved reform measures, enabling immediate implementation of the new framework.

Under the reform, the NYSC will be led by a civilian in its operational leadership, while the military will continue to handle security for corps members across the country.

This shift is intended to reposition NYSC as a skill-oriented, productivity-driven, youth-empowering institution that directly supports the administration’s ambition of building a $1 trillion economy.
