A statement on Wednesday by the Deputy Director (Press and Public Relations) in the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Mr. Tope Ajakaiye, said the NYSC boss stated this during a visit to the Head of Service of the Federation, Alhaji Isa Sali.
Okore-Affia explained that the visit was “to discuss issues relating to the on-going reorganisation of the scheme”.

Sali emphasised the role of the scheme in strengthening unity in the country.
The HOS said, “Despite the recent challenges, the NYSC scheme has always been a strong factor in the efforts being made to build a united and strong nation.
“Most of the people in leadership positions in Nigeria today have gone through the scheme and benefitted from it immensely.”
