NYSC speaks on N4,000 fee for printing call-up letters

…says it’s not for scheme

By Caleb Ayansina

Abuja — NATIONAL Youth Service Corps, NYSC,
yesterday, explained that the N4,000 fee imposed on prospective corps members for printing of call- up letters on-line was for services and infrastructure to be deployed by the collaborating firm.

Director General of NYSC, Brig-General Jonhson
Olawumi, said the money was neither for the
scheme nor the corps producing institutions as it
was being alleged by some quarters.
NYSC, in a bid to improve its operations in line with
global cutting-edge technology, went into
partnership with a private company, Messrs.
SIDMACH Technologies Nigeria Limited, for the full
computerisation of the mobilisation process.
