The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, has said that the scheme will start posting corps members to farms soon.
in an interview with Newsmen during an Official visit to the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Sagamu, Ogun, he said the NYSC has concluded preparations to begin the posting at the conclusion of the three-week orientation exercise.
He said that the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Oyo, Bauchi, and Kebbi had been earmarked for the pilot phase.
In His words:
Related Posts “It should interest you to know that the NYSC will soon begin its agricultural development scheme where corps members will be posted to farms for their primary assignments.
Already the NYSC has acquired active farmlands across the nation’s geopolitical zones with four already fully operational in Kwali, Bauchi, Oyo and Kebbi.
After this orientation programme for the Batch ‘A’ corps members, we will begin posting some of them to these farms as a pilot phase. Though we are starting with four states for now, we will integrate the other states as time goes, the project is ongoing.
“The NYSC has provided all the tools and support you need to develop your capacity to the fullest, it now depends on you, there is no short cut to success but by hard work.
Of all the programmes outlined for you during the orientation, there is none more important that you must fully participate in than the SAED programme.
I want you to create your own jobs by being creative and innovative, you must strive to be labour employers rather than labour seekers. Please don’t look for white-collar jobs, your skills and potentials can serve you better in the way of realizing your dreams.

No wahala

won't those farmers take advantage of us, even where am currently posted to, they have nearly finished me

They should also post them to Brothels and motor parks...Useless scheme.

They should post them to pig house..

Misplacement of priority

Useless government filled with old men

As long as the corp members are given plots from the farm or given loans to acquire their own plots after service. Once a corp menber works on a farm, he is entitled to a plot. You can't just labour on a farm for a year and go home empty-handed

I think the gorvernment has made a good decision towards sending how graduate to have a real time farming rather than learning crop cultivation from a book.

At the moment the economy of our great nation is in recession and even the corporate bodies are letting off their employee.

What hope do they have for a gainful employment after service.

I salute you sir...

But not everyone has passion for farming, those ones who study agriculture should be allowed to go to farm for relevant work experience but sending computer science graduates to farm shows how clueless these vagabonds can be

Ahahahah
