The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has advised Corps Members to abide by the scheme’s rules and regulations and serve their fatherland with good conduct as responsible ambassadors of their families and alma mater.
NYSC’s Director-General, Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed, disclosed this in his address to the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream One Corps Members at the Edo State Orientation Camp in Okada and the Delta State Orientation Camp in Issele-Uku, Southern Nigeria.
He also warned them to avoid consumption of hard drugs, fraud, cybercrimes, hooliganism, and other social vices that can jeopardize their future, adding that NYSC is not a haven for criminals.
“Try and participate in all the camp activities that are deliberately targeted to make you better citizens.
“Be security conscious of your environments and do not endanger your lives. The service year is not for jamboree but a time to reflect on your lives and add value to yourselves and your place of primary assignments,” he said.
The Director General also implored the Corps Members to maintain a clean and hygienic environment within and outside the Orientation Camp to stay healthy.
Briefing the Director General, the Edo State Coordinator, Mrs. Ben-Ushie Frances said a total of 1,478 Corps Members comprising 594 males and 884 females have been making meaningful contributions towards the overall success of the Orientation Course.
Similarly, the NYSC Delta State Coordinator, Mr. Olusegun Alao, informed the Director General that 1,933 Corps Members consisting of 811 males and 1,122 females were registered.
He added that the Corps Members are highly disciplined, having been incorporated into the various camp committees while there is a cordial relationship between all camp officials.
