The SERVICOM National Office has applauded the National Youth Service Corps for notable improvements in its service delivery, particularly in the conduct of Orientation Camp activities, such as feeding and other services provided to Corps Members. This was contained in a statement signed by Caroline Embu, Director, Information and Public Relations.
The SERVICOM National Coordinator, Nnenna Akajemeli, gave the commendation as a keynote speaker at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Second Quarter Networking Meeting for Desk Officers held in Abuja, with the theme; “Leveraging SERVICOM Principles for Effective and Efficient Service Delivery in NYSC.”
Akajemeli, who was represented at the event by the Head of Operations, SERVICOM, Mrs Ngozi Akinbodewa, described the NYSC as one of the Federal Government agencies demonstrating commendable commitment to quality service delivery and responsiveness to citizens’ needs.
In his address, the NYSC Director-General (DG), Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, reaffirmed the Scheme’s resolve to sustain and further improve service delivery to Nigerians in line with SERVICOM standards.
Represented by the Director, Reforms Coordination and Service Improvement, Chief Chinwendu Chukwu, the DG said the workshop was not merely routine, but a call to action, urging officers to renew their commitment to professionalism, integrity, and strict adherence to SERVICOM principles.
Nafiu described the Desk Officers as a critical link between the Scheme and the public and charged them to give their best at all times to ensure optimal service delivery.
He further urged the participants to continually reassess their engagement with stakeholders, especially during official interactions, with a view to improving public confidence in the Scheme.
Participants at the workshop were drawn from the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters, as well as the FCT and the 36 State Secretariats.
