Spread the wordThe National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is to adopt a standardised protocol for the handling of corps members with disabilities during the orientation course and throughout the service year.
The NYSC Director-General, Brig.- Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, made this known in a keynote address at the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Pre-Orientation workshop with the theme; “Revamping the NYSC Orientation Course Experience as a Foundation for Impactful Service by Corps Members,” which took place in Jos, Plateau state.
He said the initiative, which was in furtherance of the Scheme’s welfare strategies for corps members, would focus not only on compliance, but also dignity, inclusion and equal opportunity.
“It underscores our commitment to leaving no one behind and positioning the NYSC as a humane, progressive, and nationally responsive institution.
“Equally crucial is using emotional intelligence and showing empathy in all interactions with corps members and camp officials,” he added.
