The Director, Corps Mobilization 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 in-depth evaluations towards checkmating some of the problems confronting the scheme.
“The ICT department of the NYSC, in collaboration with the Mobilization Department, has designed a new data entry software which will be used by CPIs to collate the 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 will give no room for further fakery.
This is as a result of the realization that most of the mistakes during mobilization 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’ mobilization 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 recognized federal, states and private CPIs across Nigeria, within its limited resources.
