A Non- Governmental Organisation, What Next Africa, has donated fifty new laptop computers to the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC to enhance the smooth operations of the Scheme as it prepares to mark fifty years anniversary of tremendous contributions to national development.
The organisation also commended the contributions of NYSC in the areas of education, health, rural development and other sectors in the last fifty years.
During the presentation of the laptop computers to the NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed at the National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, the nation’s capital, the Executive Director of What Next Africa, Mr Temitope Ogunlusi described Corps Members as having good role models to the young ones who need the support of every stakeholder.
He said the organisation prepares students for post-secondary life, adding that was the need to stem the tide of challenges from transiting from teenage to adulthood.
In his remarks during the presentation, the Director, of Planning Research and Statistics, Alhaji Ahmed Wada Ikaka described What Next Africa as a Trans-Continental organisation that prioritises career development, guidance and counseling of Secondary School students, but decided to add value to the human capital development of the NYSC.
While appreciating the donor on behalf of the Scheme, the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed promised the effective utilization of the computers.
