Answers To FAQ(s) About SAED Scheme
Is NYSC SAED Compulsory?
The Skill Acquisition program of the NYSC is not made mandatory for corps members.
This is because taking or not taking the exercise has no repercussions on the successful completion of your service year. But some other exercises do—like your monthly clearance or attendance in your PPA.
However, the program is very necessary…
Because this is the way the NYSC has discovered so far to influence the federal government’s decision toward helping Nigerian youths to become self-employed at the end of their service year.
So, in one way or the other, use this opportunity made available by the NYSC scheme.
