JomoRC Engages NYSC FCT Coordinator on Proposed SmartAdmin AI Training for Staff
Jomo Resource Center (JomoRC) has taken a step towards strengthening institutional collaboration with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) following a courtesy visit to the NYSC FCT Coordinator, Mr. Samuel Atali, at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja, on Monday, 12 October 2026.
The JomoRC delegation comprised Mr. Gabriel Ejeh, Managing Director; Mr. Celestine Ugwu, Director of Research & Development; and Mr. Daniel Yusuf, Director of Marketing & Sales.
The visit provided an opportunity for both parties to discuss a proposed SmartAdmin AI training programme designed to strengthen the administrative productivity, communication, and service delivery capabilities of NYSC staff through the practical application of artificial intelligence.
A Shared Interest in Administrative Capacity Development
Central to the discussions was JomoRC’s proposal to sponsor and manage a structured SmartAdmin AI training programme for NYSC staff, beginning with the FCT and potentially expanding nationwide.
The initiative reflects JomoRC’s commitment to making practical digital skills and emerging technologies more accessible to institutions seeking to improve workforce efficiency and organizational performance.
During the meeting, Mr. Atali expressed appreciation for JomoRC’s offer and optimism about the programme’s potential impact. His response highlighted the promise of the initiative as an opportunity to explore how AI-powered tools could support staff productivity and contribute to improved administrative processes.
A Three-Phase Approach to Staff Training
The proposed SmartAdmin AI training initiative is envisioned as a three-phase programme designed to reach staff progressively.
Phase One: Senior Management Training
The first phase will focus on senior management staff of NYSC FCT. The session is intended to introduce participants to practical applications of AI that can support administrative productivity, workplace communication, and more efficient service delivery.
JomoRC is currently awaiting the scheduling of this initial phase in consultation with the relevant NYSC authorities.
Phase Two: Wider Staff Participation
The second phase is intended to extend the training to non-management staff and personnel who may be unable to participate in the first phase.
This approach would provide a broader opportunity for staff across different levels of the FCT administration to develop practical AI skills relevant to their responsibilities.
Phase Three: Proposed Nationwide Expansion
The third phase envisages a potential nationwide rollout through the recently launched NYSC Staff e-Learning platform.
If pursued following the necessary consultations and approvals, this approach could make the training accessible to NYSC staff in different states without requiring them to travel to Abuja.
The proposed digital delivery model could also offer a more scalable approach to workforce development, enabling staff to access relevant learning opportunities regardless of their location.
However, the nationwide phase remains subject to wider consultations with the Director of Staff Training at NYSC Headquarters and the necessary administrative arrangements.
JomoRC’s Commitment to Institutional Collaboration
For JomoRC, the engagement represents an opportunity to explore how collaboration with public institutions can translate emerging technologies into practical workplace benefits.
By sponsoring and managing the proposed training process, JomoRC aims to support the development of digital competencies that can help public-sector personnel work more efficiently, communicate more effectively, and adapt to the changing demands of modern administration.
The proposed collaboration also aligns with the broader need to make technology-driven capacity development more accessible, particularly as AI tools become increasingly relevant to everyday professional responsibilities.
As discussions progress towards scheduling the first phase, JomoRC remains committed to engaging with the relevant NYSC authorities to determine the appropriate implementation pathway.
Looking Ahead
The visit to the NYSC FCT Coordinator marks an important engagement in JomoRC’s efforts to explore institutional partnerships that advance practical digital learning and workforce development.
While the immediate focus is on the proposed FCT training, the longer-term vision is to explore how digital learning infrastructure could support wider access to AI skills across the scheme.
For JomoRC, the goal extends beyond introducing technology. It is about helping people and institutions apply technology meaningfully to improve the way they learn, work, and deliver services.
