Tinubu Extends NYSC Camp to Six Weeks, Scraps Military Drills for Skills Training

The Federal Government has unveiled major reforms to the National Youth Service Corps aimed at equipping graduates with practical skills and boosting employment. Under the plan, orientation camp will be extended from three to six weeks to include vocational training, digital skills, entrepreneurship and leadership development. Military drills and the traditional passing-out parade will be discontinued. The scheme will shift its focus to innovation, productivity and career readiness. Security measures and welfare improvements for corps members will also be prioritized. The announcement has sparked mixed reactions. Supporters praise the emphasis on skills acquisition, while critics question the cost and capacity of existing facilities. Further consultations are expected before the reforms take effect.
