The Federal Government has revoked all previous directives regarding posting restrictions in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

This was made know in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday signed by Mrs Omolara Esan, Director of Information and Public Relation in the Ministry of Youth Development.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Youth Development, Mr Ayodele Olawande, had lifted the restrictions im a memo to the NYSC dated Nov.18, with effect from the start date of the 2024 Batch ‘C Orientation Course.

Olawande said that the ministerial directive aligned with President Bola Tinubu’s mandate to ensure that all government ministries, agencies, and parastatals operate in harmony with the administration’s overall vision.

“Tinubu is highly concerned about the rising rate of youth unemployment.

“As a result, he expects the ministry of and its affiliated agencies to take a leading role in addressing the issue,” he said.

According to him, the current NYSC posting policy, established during the tenure of former Minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, limited postings to four sectors: Education, Agriculture, Health, and Infrastructure.

He said that the argument of Abdullahi at the time was that while the government was funding the NYSC, many private organisations were no longer employing because of the easy access to cheap corps labour,

“As we battle unemployment crisis, there is an urgent need to review this policy in order to expand the opportunity and access for corps members to serve in places that are relevant to their areas of study.

“Posting of corps members to, as much as practicable, be in line with their course of study.

“Posting of corps members to select banks and other private sector organisations, including those operating in oil and gas, to commence with Abuja and Lagos,” he said.

The minister also announced revocation of all previous directives relating to posting restrictions with effect from the date of commencement of the 2024 Batch ‘C Orientation Course.

“The directive contained herein will take effect from the date of commencement of the 2024 Batch ‘C Orientation Course.
