National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has got the approval of the Head of Service of the Federation to expand its administrative structure by creating four more departments and one unit at the directorate headquarters.

The departments are: Certification, Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship, NYSC Ventures and ICT.

Meanwhile, NYSC has established a Distress Call Centre with five desks to be manned by receiving agents and a table for supervisors.

Twenty-nine officers were said to have been trained on the equip-ment and will run on a 24-hour schedule having three shifts when the centre opens for opera-tion January next year.

Vanguard gathered that by January, data of all NYSC members requested from the state secretariats would have been received and fed into the system at the centre.

good step in d the right direction
