The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has extended the usage of biometrics for the clearance of corps members to North Central zone of the country.
This is part of the innovative deployment of ICT solutions to enhance operational efficiency of the scheme.
The extension of the new approach to the North-Central followed its successful piloting in FCT and Lagos State as well as its commencement in all states of the North-West, South-East and South-West. Speaking at the opening ceremony of a training workshop for NYSC field officers from the zone on the handling of the biometric clearance, which commenced Wednesday in Minna, Niger State, Director-General, Brigadier General Sulaiman Kazaure, said the workshop was aimed at giving participants requisite knowledge for the success of the clearance system. Kazaure, who was represented by Director of Planning, Research and Statistics, Mrs. Victoria Okakwu, stated that the scheme’s migration from the manual system of mobilisation, deployment, registration, and relocation of corps members to an ICT-driven one, had helped to eliminate sharp practices as well as reduce error and workload of staff, corps members and other stakeholders.
