The Chartered Institute of Public Resources Management and Politics, Ghana, has honored the Director-General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), in Nigeria, Major-General Shuaibu Ibrahim with the most distinguished Fellow of the 2021/22 Hall of Fame.

In a statement by the Director Press and Public Relations of the scheme, Eddy Megwa, and made available to Journalists in Abuja, the Executive Director, West African Region of the Institute, Dr Richards Kpoku, explained that the institute decided to honour the Director-General for his giant strides and outstanding achievements since he assumed duty as NYSC helmsman.

Dr. Kpoku commended General Ibrahim for his integrity, as well as establishment of NYSC bakeries, water factories, NYSC Radio and TV stations also for the resuscitation of the Scheme’s garments factories, including the intervention of Corps Members in providing free medicare for indigent Nigerians through the Health Initiative for Rural Dwellers.

“The NYSC has made great impact under your watch and it has become a global brand as a result of your leadership excellence and dexterity.

“You have brought great patriotism into the Scheme and made it a force to reckon with at the global space.

“You are a renowned public service administrator,  professional security and defence strategist, academic and renowned author”, he said.

The Executive Director also commended the DG for his incorruptible statesmanship, which he said made him qualified for the institute’s Chartered Fellow of the 2022 Hall of Fame.

In his response, General Ibrahim who commended the institute for the conferment, attributed the success to the teamwork of the entire NYSC workforce.

He said the Scheme has been fostering national unity and integration since inception and will continue to do so.

The DG added that while at the Orientation Camp, Corps Members are  exposed to the rudiments of leadership, discipline, Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development training, among others that would prepare them for leadership roles.

He added that Corps Members have been adding values to their host communities across the country.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, Corps Members produced sanitizers, disinfectant soaps, facemasks, and other innovations to combat the disease. 

“They also provided free online coaching for graduating students in secondary schools”, the DG said.

General Ibrahim added that other African countries like Gambia are making efforts to set up similar youth organisations like NYSC in their countries.

He said the NYSC would inaugurate its radio and television stations in two days time in order to boost the publicity drive of the Scheme.
