The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II Corps Members will conclude their service year on Thursday, December 18, 2025.
According to a statement by the Director, Information and Public Relations of NYSC,
Caroline Embu, the event will be low-key and will feature the distribution of Certificates of National Service across all Local Government Areas nationwide.
In the build-up to the Passing-Out Parade (POP), activities such as Job Advisory and Counselling (JAC) by NYSC and partner agencies, as well as the signing of final clearance forms by Zonal Inspectors, will be carried out.
The NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, wished the Corps Members a successful winding-up and passing-out exercise.
He urged them to uphold the Scheme’s core values and conduct themselves as worthy ambassadors of the NYSC as they transition into post-service life.
Cultural Integration
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC),
has urged Corps Members to appreciate the cultural values of their host communities.
General Nafiu gave the charge during his visit to the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Corps Members at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Wamakko, Sokoto State, North west, Nigeria.
He also enjoined them to use the opportunity of the service year to learn more about Nigeria’s natural endowments, and explore the values inherent in them.
“You are guests here; therefore, you must respect your hosts.
“Do not look down on their culture and, please, try and understand why they do certain things,” General Nafiu counseled.
The NYSC boss encouraged them to build friendship across ethnic and geographical lines, stressing that such would serve as foundation for successful business collaborations in future, in addition to strengthening national unity.
“If you are from the South West and the only friends you make are from the South West, you have wasted this opportunity,” General Nafiu said.
He advised them to leverage the country’s regional economic strengths, noting that understanding what different zones produced would create natural opportunities for inter-regional trade.
The DG warned the Corps Members against the use of the social media for divisive narratives, stressing that they should rely only on genuine sources of information that would promote national unity and integration.
General Nafiu also advised them to acquire vocational and entrepreneurial skills while also ensuring prudent financial management to enhance their chances of self-employment and financial freedom.
Earlier, the NYSC Sokoto State Coordinator, Alhaji Usman Yaro, informed the DG that the State had registered 1,299 Corps Members comprising 762 males and 537 females, all of whom were being carried along in the Camp administration.
