       THE management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has
       said it was collaborating with the Joint Admission and
       Matriculation Board (JAMB) and Corps Producing Institutions
       (CPIs) in parts of the country to check all forms of fictitious
       claims among prospective corps members nationwide.
       The Director, Corps Mobilisation Department, NYSC, Mr Anthony
       Ani, stated this during an interactive session with newsmen in
       Minna, Niger State capital.
       He said the synergy between the management of the scheme and its
       counterpart, JAMB, including CPIs in Nigeria, will make it
       impossible for corps members to give false information with
       regards to their age and academic records.
       He stressed that such a collaborative step would provide
       far-reaching policy, decisions and indepth evaluations towards
       checkmating some of the problems confronting the scheme.
       “The ICT department of the NYSC, in collaboration with the
       Mobilisation Department, has designed a new data entry software
       which will be used by CPIs to collatethe data of prospective
       corps members,” Ani maintained.
       He further disclosed that managers of the scheme were not happy
       that the incidences of fake corps members were still on the
       prowl at any given orientation, highlighting that with active
       collaboration of relevant agencies, synergy between JAMB and
       CPIs willgive no room for further fakery.
       This is as a result of the realisation that most of the mistakes
       during mobilisation of prospective corps members are at the
       point of data entry, hence, the new software will assist in
       identifying mistakes, the director said.
       He, however, explained that in view of the short time-span
       between now and the commencement of the 2013 Batch ‘C’,
       submission of prospective corps members’ list by student affairs
       officers of the respective tertiary institutions that the
       software would be put into use with effect from the 2014 Batch
       ‘A’ mobilisation exercise.
       He added that for proper education of prospective corps members
       about procedures for participation in the scheme, there were
       plans by the directorate to carry out comprehensive briefing of
       students in all the 202 recognised federal, states and private
       CPIs across Nigeria, within its limited resources.
