A former Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, has identify the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) as one of the best schemes introduced by the military and called for its sustenance.

Jega said this while delivering the 50th-anniversary lecture of the NYSC with the theme, NYSC Five Decades of Fostering National Unity and Development,” in Abuja.

The former INEC chairman said there is no doubt, the NYSC has substantially achieved the objectives for which it was established in the area of national integration and nation-building.

He therefore urged government at all levels to ensure there is adequate security for youth corps members, insure the lives of members and increase funding for the scheme.
