“Without doubt, the introduction of ICT in the NYSC has resulted in better work efficiency, improved processes and productivity, as well as effective service delivery.

In sustaining these gains therefore, the NYSC Management is determined to continuously equip our officers with relevant skills and providing the enabling environment to ensure full participation in the digitalization process”, the DG added 

He stated further that Management is making  arrangements to make it easy for absconded Corps Members to make online refund of allowances earlier collected, without embarking on journey to their initial States of deployment.

He listed the benefits of the new NYSC remobization module to include; proper tracking of all absconded cases, prompt availability of accurate details of refunds of allowances earlier collected by remobilized Corps Members, seamless and harmonious processing of all activities relating to absconded/remobilized cases at the State Seçretariats, among others.

The Director, Information, Communication and Technology, Mrs Christy Uba added that the Scheme would continue to leverage on its achievements in ICT solutions and would achieve more.
