Territory Sierra Leone Presidential Adviser noted in Federal Capita (FCT), that the NYSC scheme is the Nigeria’s best tool of one voice and unity among the citizenry, Nigerian Tribune reports.
Kamara, who led a delegation on an inspection and monitoring tour of the FCT and Kaduna orientation camps, said they were ‘awed’ by the level
He said: “Yesterday we went to the Kaduna orientation camp and we saw firsthand the administration process of the scheme it was an eye opener and a good learning experience. Today we have seen the swearing-in ceremony in the FCT.
“We have observed that the organisational structure is very important. In Nigeria you have a federal system of governance where there is a clear division of authority but we have a unilateral system of governance and you cannot equate this.
