Local Government Inspectors (LGIs) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have been urged to deepen their use of digital tools as enablers of innovation, efficiency, and improved service delivery.
The Scheme’s Acting Director of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Mr. Kwaghe Joseph Vandi, made the call on Tuesday during a Capacity Building Workshop for LGIs in Abuja.
Vandi said the workshop underscored NYSC’s commitment to leveraging technology as a catalyst for discipline, accountability, and operational efficiency in the administration of Corps Members.
“The introduction and expansion of initiatives such as the NYSC Integrated System (NIS), the monthly biometric clearance, and several other ICT-driven platforms have significantly improved transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the Scheme’s operations. However, the success and sustainability of these innovations depend largely on our Local Government Inspectors,” he said.
He added that the workshop was a strategic investment in human capital, designed to equip participants with digital skills and competencies needed to navigate the modern NYSC ICT framework with confidence and efficiency.
Director of Corps Welfare and Health Services, Mr. Omotade Ayodele, while delivering a lecture on the workshop theme, urged participants to uphold integrity in the discharge of their duties. He reminded them to remain firm, visionary, empathetic, and serve as good ambassadors of the Scheme in their respective stations.
Participants at the workshop included State Coordinators for Benue and Nasarawa, as well as Zonal and Local Government Inspectors drawn from both states.
