Yemi Adaramodu, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Youth and Community Engagement, has stated that the recently passed National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Trust Fund Bill will create job opportunities for graduates.
Adaramodu made this known during an official visit to the Oyo State NYSC Orientation Camp in Iseyin, where he led a delegation of the committee on Saturday.
He explained that the bill, which has passed first and second readings and other legislative stages, will soon be sent to the President for assent.
According to Adaramodu, the primary aim of the bill is to ensure that NYSC corps members are empowered through the skills acquired from the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.
