The group said an assent to the NYSC Trust Fund bill by the President is a seal to secure the future of Nigerian youth and legacy that would be known for centuries as the change that restructured, and repositioned our youth for greatness.
In a statement signed by the Executive Secretary of the group, Comrade Ikpa Isaac on Sunday in Abuja at a press conference said the trust fund is such an amazing feat that it would be the best legacy for the Nigerian youths if signed into law.
The statement read ” This trust fund is meant for Corp members, as it contains start-up capitals for them which will be given to them after their service year. During the NYSC, these Corp members are taught a number of skills that would enable them to become independent entrepreneurs, creating jobs and at the same time solving problems in the environment.
” The Trust Fund would be solving a major critical problem which is, ” lack of funds for a start-up dream” , which has stood as a setback in the journey of many Youth corps, in which Mr president is advised to make it a reality soonest; this is, making available needed funds that will be given out to these Corp members as they round up their service so they could start up a venture to help themselves and the nation at large.
” The NYSC trust fund has risen to be one of the best things to happen to Nigeria and Nigeria’s unity in years. Amidst the little economic challenges, this trust fund will reinstate hope in all the states, and give hope to the Youth for a better future and create a better nation.
” CESJET can boldly point out that, President Muhammadu Buhari has given the NYSC program a solid foundation which would be a lasting tale in the mouth of every Nigeria citizen for centuries.
” His influence in this programme has given our youths greater insight into the diversities of our heritage and cultures, thereby unifying Nigeria like never before. The NYSC trust fund will make this legacy even better off by reminding the Nigerian youth of the reason for National integration.
