NYSC propagates ethnic values for national integration – Shuaibu Ibrahim

The director general of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim says, the scheme has propagated the ethnic values for national integration.

Ibrahim noted that over 4 million Nigerians have so far participated in the scheme.

He observed that the government’s quests for national unity might not been easy if the NYSC was not established.

The NYSC director general made the comment as he addressed newsmen today in Abuja.

He expressed optimism that the scheme will continue to increase cultural emancipation and youth participation.

The scheme was established in 1973 by former head of state, General Yakubu Gowon.
