We are also making the NYSC Scheme safer and smarter. Deployment to security-challenged states will be guided by risk assessment. It will prioritise indigenes, residents, graduates of institutions in those states and those from neighbouring states within the same geopolitical zones. The call-up process will become technology-driven and primary assignments will be better aligned with each corps member’s skills, academic background and career stream. Our administration is also strengthening governance, standards and the dignity of the NYSC scheme. The NYSC will be led by a civilian Director-General, supported by three Executive Directors, including a Security Services Executive Director, who will be a military or paramilitary officer. Orientation camps will be assessed under a national grading and certification framework, while states will be expected to meet minimum standards. The Passing-Out Parade will become a Graduation Ceremony because our corps members will no longer merely complete service. They will graduate as trained civic and professional contributors to national development. I commend the Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande; my Special Adviser on Policy and Coordination, Hadiza Bala Usman; the Federal Ministry of Education; and the members of the Reform Committee for their work. I have directed the Federal Ministry of Youth Development and the Federal Ministry of Justice to commence the process of amending the NYSC Act and subsidiary regulations. To every young Nigerian: this nation believes in you. We are building a country worthy of your talent, your ambition and your future. Bola Ahmed Tinubu President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
