The NYSC DG, Ahmed said the collaboration with NIMC on Corps Mobilization would strengthen the online registration process for the Scheme.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Wednesday announced that starting from the 2024 Mobilization Exercise, all eligible Prospective Corps Members (PCM) cannot be registered for the mobilization without their National Identification Numbers (NIN).
The management of the scheme which made this known in a statement issued by its Director, Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, said the decision was part of deliberations made during the meeting led by its Director General, Brigadier General YD Ahmed, with the Management of National Identification Management Commission (NIMC) in Abuja.
The National Identification Management Commission team was led by its Director General, Engr Abisoye Coker-Odusote.
The NYSC DG, Ahmed said the collaboration with NIMC on Corps Mobilization would strengthen the online registration process for the Scheme.
The DG added that the NYSC integrated system that was introduced in 2014 had tremendously assisted the scheme in its mobilization process, but there was a need for improvement.
In her remarks during the meeting, the NIMC DG, Coker-Odusote lauded the NYSC mobilization protocols and the scheme’s efforts towards moulding corps members for leadership responsibilities for over 50 years of its operations and promised the readiness of the commission for the collaboration between both agencies.
The NIMC boss said the synergy with the NYSC will simplify the entire mobilization process and also address multiple issues, adding that the commission has partnered many several government agencies while promising to present the best services to the nation.
