The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is set to introduce additional Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features to simplify the online registration process for Prospective Corps Members.
The Director-General of the Scheme, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, disclosed this while interacting with 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream One Corps Members undergoing their orientation course 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 trends 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 NYSC boss also announced plans to improve the quality of kits provided to Corps Members from next year.
He therefore urged the Corps Members to make the most of their deployment to Delta State by building meaningful relationships and professional networks that could benefit them in the future.
Nafiu further encouraged them to acquire relevant skills that would enable them to become self-employed, create jobs and develop a strong 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 Delta State NYSC Coordinator, Mr John Kwaghe, disclosed in his camp situation report that 1,697 Corps Members had registered at the orientation camp, while 1,094 Corps Members were dislodged from Lagos State to the camp.
