The synergy between National Identity Management Commission,(NIMC)and National Youth Service Corps(NYSC), has eliminated multiple registrations and fraudulent enrolments, in NYSC scheme and enhance mobilisation process faster and more efficient.
Director General, (DG) of the NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye, made the remark in Abuja on Tuesday, while delivering a goodwill message at the 7th National Day of Identity organised by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
The DG disclosed that NYSC will mobilise no fewer than 650,000 graduates from within and outside Nigeria for the mandatory service programme in 2026 as against 400,000 corps members that were mobilised this year.
He emphasised the importance of a secure and trusted National Identity Database in the mobilisation process.
Oluseye explained that the integration of National Identity Numbers (NIN) has improved transparency, citing a 2023 case where an investigative journalist attempting multiple fraudulent registrations was exposed through the system.
According to him, the robust system now makes it practically impossible for ineligible individuals to be mobilised as corps members.
The NYSC boss commended the collaboration and assured that the Corps is addressing remaining challenges to ensure an even smoother mobilisation exercise going forward.
