He said that the move to deploy corps members to farms was in line with the agricultural development programme of the NYSC.
Kazaure
who revealed that the NYSC has concluded preparations to begin the
posting at the conclusion of the three-week orientation exercise
also said that Bauchi, Oyo, Kebbi and the Federal Capital Territory,
Abuja, had been earmarked for the pilot phase.
In his
words:
“It
should interest you to know that the NYSC will soon begin its agricultural
development scheme where corps members will be posted to farms for their
primary assignments."
“Already
the NYSC has acquired active farmlands across the nation’s geopolitical zones
with four already fully operational in Kwali, Bauchi, Oyo and Kebbi."
“After
this orientation programme for the Batch ‘A’ corps members, we will begin
posting some of them to these farms as a pilot phase."
“Though
we are starting with four states for now, we will integrate the other states as
time goes, the project is ongoing."
The
NYSC boss who said with this, corp members will begin their journey to financial
freedom urging them not to go after white-collar jobs which he said were
non-existent but rather develop their potentials for entrepreneurship
excellence.
“The
NYSC has provided all the tools and support you need to develop your capacity
to the fullest, it now depends on you, there is no short cut to success but by
hard work."
“Of all
the programmes outlined for you during the orientation, there is none more
important that you must fully participate in than the SAED programme."
“I want
you to create your own jobs by being creative and innovative, you must strive
to be labour employers rather than labour seekers.
“Please
don’t look for white-collar jobs, your skills and potentials can serve you
better in the way of realising your dreams,” he said.
