Joel Ajayi
The Director-General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim has revealed that the garment factory put in place some months ago has produced 57,000 corps members’ kits.
To this end, DG enjoined Corps Members to imbibe the dignity of labor and be tenacious in the utilization of vocational skills imparted in them during the service year.
The scheme said within the period, 12,000 khaki suits, 15,000 physical exercise shorts, 15,000 crested vests, and 15,000 plain vests were produced.
Speaking during an inspection visit to the garment factory in Minna, Niger State, the NYSC Director General (DG), Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim in a statement signed by the Director, Press and Public relations, Mrs. Adenike Adeyemi, tasked corps members working in the factory on deploying intellectual prowess in what they do, so as to add value to their fashion design skills.
Director-General also advised them to access the loan facilities made available by financial institutions to enable them to actualize their business plans for self-employment and wealth creation.
While noting the rate of employment in the country and the efforts being made to address this, he added that skill acquisition remains the best solution.
The NYSC boss advised the Corps Members to continue to be of good character and strive to leave legacies in the factory and their host communities.
He equally warned them against acts capable of jeopardizing Management’s efforts towards repositioning the Scheme for enhanced efficiency
Briefing the Director-General, the Head of the Factory, Mr. Aluyor Moses Osikhuemeh, said the Garment Factory, which was established in 1992, had trained thousands of Corps Members thereby making them self-reliant.
He added that the factory would continue to contribute towards the provision of quality Corps kits while also generating revenue for the Scheme.
“The factory has, within three months, produced 12,000 Khaki Suits, 15,000 Physical Exercise Shorts, 15,000 Crested Vests and 15,000 Plain Vests,”
