The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Muhammad Kaku Fadah has given assurance to the people of South Sudan of the readiness of the Scheme to support the country in its quest to replicate the Youth scheme in the country.
Brigadier General Fadah gave the assurance today during Sudan’s Honourable Minister of Federal Affairs, Hon Losuba Ludoru paid a visit to the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters, FCT Abuja
Fadah described the visit as historic one said the NYSC has been a veritable tool for national development since its inauguration in 1973.
According to him, the Scheme remains Africa’s oldest surviving Scheme which has continued to live up to expectations and has well stood the test of time and if replicated in Sudan, which has similar civil war history like Nigeria, it will go a long way to further unite the various ethnic groups in the country.
Speaking further, Fadah said the Scheme is worthy of emulation as youths are at the center stage of every developing nation and the need to equip them with national ideals and skills cannot be over-emphasized.
The NYSC Director-General thanked the visiting delegates for finding the NYSC as a reference and called on them to visit the National Directorate Headquarters as the Scheme is ever ready to render all necessary assistance at all times.
Earlier, the spokesman of the Sudanese delegates, Hon Losuba Ludoru said they were in the country to understudy Nigeria’s Federal System as well as the operations of the NYSC for replication in their country.
