NYSC DG Stresses Safety, Security, and Dignity in Corps Members’ Deployment
January 7, 2026 – Abuja / Nigeria
The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, emphasized that corps members’ deployment must prioritize security conditions, welfare, and dignity. He spoke at the 2026 Batch A Pre-Mobilisation Workshop themed “Enhancing Service Delivery Across the NYSC Mobilisation Value Chain.”
Key points from his address:
Deployment decisions should follow current security realities, government policies, and principles of fairness, equity, and transparency.
Any mobilisation process that compromises corps members’ safety or dignity undermines the essence of national service.
Operational challenges persist across Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) and the NYSC, including unqualified uploads, data discrepancies, weak verification, inconsistent application of guidelines, and undue human interference in automated processes.
He highlighted the importance of technology and data management, calling for better digital systems, audits, capacity building, and minimal human interference.
Stakeholder coordination and communication gaps were identified as bottlenecks needing stronger inter-agency collaboration and data-driven decision-making.
Nafiu called for a shift from routine compliance to service excellence, ensuring mobilisation is efficient, transparent, accountable, and people-focused.
The DG assured that NYSC management is committed to improving the mobilisation process, enhancing professionalism, ethical conduct, and responsiveness to the needs of prospective corps members.
