Ahmed noted that the purpose of the scheme is to inculcate in youths the spirit of selfless service to the community.
He emphasised the need for oneness and brotherhood of Nigerians, irrespective of cultural or social background.
The lawmaker called on governments to ensure adequate security, provision of basic social amenities and increase the monthly stipends and allowance of corps members.
This, he said, will attract them to be willing to serve their father land wherever they are posted to.
