The federal government has inaugurated the governing boards of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, CLTC, and the National Institute for Sports (NIS).
Speaking at the inaguration, which took place on Thursday at the VIP Lounge of the National Stadium, Abuja, Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Barrister Solomon Dalung, emphasized that President Muhammadu Buhari’s determination to enthrone appropriate governance and oversight structure for agencies of government was borne out of concern to rightly position the agencies to deliver the much needed service to the citizens.

He charged them not to meddle with the daily routines of the agencies but to formulate policies.
His words: “The role of the governing boards is primarily to drive general policy formulation for implementation by the Management teams of the agencies and not to get involved in the day to day running of agencies except the Chairmen and members who are statutorily saddled with executive functions.
“Your appointments into the boards of these Parastatals should be seen as a clarion call to duty and an invitation to selfless service to our fatherland.”
Barrister Dalung charged the board members to eschew all forms of corrupt practices and work towards federal government’s objective of efficient service delivery.
