The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), is set to introduce additional Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions with Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled features to simplify the online registration process for Prospective Corps Members.
The Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, disclosed this while interacting with 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream One Corps Members at the Delta State NYSC Orientation Camp in Issele-Uku.
Nafiu said the initiative was designed to ensure that all eligible Prospective Corps Members could register successfully on the NYSC portal, in line with emerging developments in the ICT sector.
He added that the Scheme would soon migrate some of its operations to technology-driven platforms to improve efficiency and service delivery.
The Director-General also announced plans to improve the quality of kits provided to Corps Members from next year.
He urged the Corps Members to take advantage of their deployment to Delta State to build meaningful relationships and networks that could benefit them in the future.
Nafiu further encouraged them to acquire relevant skills, embrace entrepreneurship, create jobs and develop a savings culture.
“Learn new skills, and people will value your skills. Buy shares because you have great opportunities to venture into commodity trading after your service year,” he advised.
Earlier, the NYSC Delta State Coordinator, Mr John Kwaghe, disclosed in his camp situation report that 1,697 Corps Members had registered at the camp, while 1,094 others were dislodged from Lagos State to the camp.
