National Youth Service Scheme (NYSS)

The National Youth Service Scheme (NYSS) was established by the Government as a commitment to youth development and in response to the acute problem of unemployment among youths in the country. NYSS targets youth who fall within the age bracket of 17-30 years and are susceptible to some form of societal woes such as unemployment, indiscipline, frustration, and drug abuse. NYSS aims to inculcate discipline, develop positive attitudes and provide market-relevant skills to youth.
