The Director-General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim on Tuesday said the service would soon start revenue generation.  Ibrahim stated this in Jos, Plateau state capital while addressing NYSC staff. According to him “We are going to start generating revenue and in our next budget, we are going to include Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

When we generate the revenue, we can drop something in the treasury and take overhead off government. I have told the man overseeing our ventures that every kobo must be accounted for.


“We must declare everything for Nigerians to see.”


The NYSC boss said that service was employing several avenues to generate revenue, saying that one of the avenues was to revive NYSC farms across the country. He noted the security of those working on the farms would be given the desired attention.


Vanguard quoted him as saying he had discussed with the National Security Adviser to task the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to give them agro rangers to protect corps members and the farms.


“The DG zonal and local government inspectors must have your ears on the ground because of the security challenges.’’


Ibrahim advised them to liaise with the Department of State Security (DSS), saying that they do receive early information on security threat. The DG also warned against the abuse of regular permission to corps members to travel out of their primary assignment locations, adding that corps members’ movement should be adequately regulated.
