It is scheduled to take off in eight pilot states, Lagos, FCT, Nassarawa, Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Kogi and Niger with the forthcoming orientation in Federal Capital Teritorry and Nassarawa State in preparation for its full implementation for the 2008 batch nationwide.
Speaking at the flag off of the project in Minna, Niger State, Olu Agunloye, executive vice chairman of National e-Government Strategies (NeGST) said the project which is supported by Afribank plc is aimed at solving divers problems encountered by corpers in the course of their service to the nation.
Agunloye stressed that the project is a modernisation initiative by NYSC in collaboration with NeGST which should be regarded as an alternative and complimentary approach to administration and service delivery.
"It is a means to redefine the way it (NYSC) interacts with its staff, corpers, citizens and the business community as well as with other establishments agencies such as institutions of learning, examinations or admission bodies," Agunloye explained.
Yusuf Bomoi, director general of NYSC in his remarks posited that the programme when fully implemented would improve communication between NYSC headquarters, state secretariats and ventures.
