The chairman of Abaji Area Council, Alhaji Abdulrahman Ajiya, has urged youth corps members in the area to be innovative and creative so as not wait for hard to get white collar jobs at the end of their service.
Ajiya, represented by the secretary of the council, Alhaji Kamal Adamu Shuaibu, during the corps members-employers parley in the area last Thursday, stressed the need for them to learn skills that will help them become self-reliant.
He said the rate of unemployment in the country was alarming hence the need for them to be creative and find ways to be self-employed.
He said the council under his administration had given priority to the welfare of corps members since it assumed office through payment of their monthly allowance.
Also speaking, the Abaji zonal inspector of NYSC, Prince Joseph Andy, commended the council chairman for the prompt payment of corps members’ monthly allowance.
“We can also recall how the present administration intensified effort to provide female corps members’ lodge which has enhanced conducive accommodation for our corps members,” he added.
The zonal inspector charged other area councils to emulate the chairman of Abaji, by giving priority to corps members’ welfare.
