Speaking during the signing of the MoU in Abuja, NYSC Director-General Brigadier, General Shuaibu Ibrahim advocated that every student should be taught Skill Acquisition right from School which would have exposed them to, and develop their individual skills for self-employment and wealth creation before graduation.

 

He said the NYSC Scheme would thereafter leverage on the individual skills of every Corps Member to post them to their areas of different skills and academic backgrounds.

 

Ibrahim, who lamented the scarcity of white-collar jobs and the increasing rate of unemployment among the youths in the country commended the Hall 7 Project for its commitment to the partnership.

General Ibrahim added that the NYSC Scheme would continue to strengthen the existing collaboration with stakeholders and reinvigorate Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Programme in line with the NYSC Act for greater impact.

 

In his remarks, the CEO of Hall 7 Project, Mr. Olayinka Braimoh stated that he decided to partner with the NYSC in order to sustain the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Centres the Scheme is building across the country.

 

Braimoh said the sustainable partnership would allow successive batches of Corps Members to derive value chain benefits from the project when completed.

 

Speaking further, he said the inspiration behind the philanthropic gesture was his desire to give back to society for the benefit of mankind.

 

Braimoh commended the NYSC for its unwavering commitment to youth empowerment over the years through Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development training for Corps Members.
