The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brigadier-General Shuaibu Ibrahim has warned Corps Members against bad conduct.
The Director-General gave the warning when he visited the NYSC Camp in Lagos State, South West Nigeria.
General Ibrahim while addressing Corps Members posted to the state enjoined them to be good ambassadors of their respective families, institutions and shun all acts that are capable of tarnishing the image of the NYSC.
He also advised them to take advantage of the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme of the scheme by learning entrepreneurial skills in order to become employers of labour.
The DG commended the Corps Members for obeying the clarion call and assured them that the NYSC has always been responsive to the welfare needs of its Corps Members. He also wished them a memorable service year experience.
Earlier in the day, the Director-General interacted with all the prospective Corps Members and staff nationwide, where he dispelled misconception about the COVID-19 vaccine and advised the Corps Members to ensure they were fully vaccinated, reminding them that with the policy of the Federal Government making the vaccine compulsory for Civil Servants, effective 1st December, 2021, Corps members, who form part of the Civil Service will equally have to comply with the directive.
