NYSC most relevant these critical times - Lalong Date: Sep 27 2017 4:00AM Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State has said the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme has remained relevant and imperative for national unity since its establishment over four decades ago. Speaking yesterday at the opening ceremony of the 2017 Annual Management Conference of the NYSC in Jos the Plateau State capital, the governor said, "At this critical time in our country that there is clamour for secession and restructuring in several quarters, the scheme remains a unifying factor, especially amongst the youths who form a large chunk of agitators. The NYSC scheme has contributed greatly to the integration and unity of our nation... I therefore, urge the coordinators of the scheme to continue to sustain and improve on the giant strides so far achieved."
