The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has stated its readiness to conduct a successful 2022 Batch ‘B’ Orientation Course.
The Director-General of the Scheme, Brigadier General MK Fadah disclosed this on Thursday in his address at the Opening Ceremony of the 2022 Batch ‘B’ Pre Orientation Workshop, with the theme; “Repositioning the Critical Components of the Orientation Course Content to Address Prevailing Challenges”, held in Abuja.

General Fadah, in a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, appreciated the support of Nigerians for the proposed NYSC Trust Fund, adding that the bill for its establishment has been passed by the House of Representatives.
“I am confident that it would not be long before the Senate gives its concurrence and therefore appeal for the sustained support of all stakeholders for its actualization”, the DG said.
The Director, Planning, Research and Statistics, Alhaji Ahmed Wada Ikaka in his introductory address said that the workshop would enable participants to review the previous orientation exercises, especially the challenges encountered as well as the best practices to enable improvements on subsequent Orientation course.
