The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed has warned Corps Members against embarking on unauthorized journeys outside their states of deployment without obtaining approval from the NYSC.
The Director General issued this warning during his visit to the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream Two Corps Members undergoing their three weeks induction at Magaji Dan Yamusa Orientation Camp in Keffi, Nasarawa State, North Central, Nigeria.
He said it is an offense for any Corps Member to travel without obtaining approval from NYSC, adding that such a person would be dealt with according to NYSC bylaws.
The DG also advised that if they must travel, they must not travel at night.
He also urged them to always be vigilant with their personal security, and not indulge in any youthful adventure that can put them in harm’s way.
General Ahmed advised the Corps Members to add value to their Place of Primary Assignments, serve their host communities diligently, and execute laudable projects that would improve the standard of living of the residents.
“You must attend all the lectures in camp, maintain good relationships among yourselves, and add value to your host communities and place of primary assignments by executing good projects,” he stated.
While presenting her camp report to the Director General, the NYSC Nasarawa State Coordinator, Mrs. Salamatu Muhammed said a total of 2,412 Corps Members were registered, comprising 1,538 for Nasarawa while 874 were dislodged from the FCT.
“We have 756 males and 782 females for Nasarawa with 385 males and 489 females for FCT,” she said.
The Coordinator added that the Corps Members had keyed into the camp activities with high sense of discipline.
