The federal government has decried the exclusion of National Certificate in Education (NCE) holders in training programmes for graduates of higher institutions.

The Minister of State for Youths, Mr. Olwande Wisdom, said while Bachelor’s Degree and Higher National Diploma holders have the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) as a training programme, NCE holders have been left out.

Wisdom, at the opening of BEMORE OYO 2024 Summer Bootcamp, in Ibadan, on Monday, assured that the Ministry of Youths would partner with the Ministry of Education to ensure that NEC holders get an equivalent NYSC training programme.

He explained that social vices had been around for long but the training of youths by organizations such as the Boys’ Brigade, Girl Guides and others had kept many away from them.

Mr Wisdom said, “The major priority of the ministry is citizenship and training, and we are bringing them back.

“We have NYSC for those who finished from universities, but what of those who finished from NCE and others?

“So, we want to set up training such that you don’t need to go to other states to have it, you can have it in your state and the camp.

“A lot of reforms are going on and we are trying as much as possible to bring a renewed hope to people, to the girls and boys.”

He added that the President Bola Tinubu administration would carry every Nigerian youth along in his development project.
