APC chieftain Olatunbosun Oyintiloye says the Federal Government’s ongoing reforms to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) are expected to help tackle youth unemployment nationwide. Speaking in Osogbo on Sunday, Oyintiloye describes the overhaul as a move to reposition the NYSC as a skills-driven programme focused on youth empowerment and broader national development. He argues that the reformed scheme will equip graduates with practical, in-demand skills that improve their ability to participate in employment and productive work. The reports from Daily Post Nigeria and Vanguard both quote Oyintiloye commending the government’s “comprehensive” reform and framing it as an initiative that will drive empowerment and curb unemployment among young people. Punch similarly reports that the APC chieftain links the NYSC reform to efforts aimed at reducing youth joblessness by providing graduates with essential skills. Across the outlets, the common point is the expectation that changes to NYSC structure and focus will strengthen its employment-related outcomes for Nigerian youth.
