Corps Members have been warned not to embark on frivolous adventures that may lead to unpleasant consequences during their service year.
The Director-General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier-General YD Ahmed, gave the directive while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream Two, Corps Members, at the NYSC Orientation Camp Gombe State, in Amada and also their colleagues in Bauchi State Orientation Camp, Wailo.
He however said, “if it is compulsory that you should travel, you must obtain approval from the NYSC Management in your States”.
He added that NYSC Management places high priority on the safety and welfare of its Corps Members nationwide, stressing that they must follow the rules for everything to go on smoothly.
“Please remain disciplined throughout the service year. The service year is a year of reflection that you design how you want your future to look like”, Gen. Ahmed stated.
He urged the Corps Members not to misuse the social media, but “rather use it for social interaction among one another, self empowerment and to also foster national unity and integration”.
In her Orientation Camp report to the DG, the NYSC Gombe State Coordinator, Mrs. Chinwe Nnenna Nwachukwu, stated that the 1,395 registered Corps Members comprising 729 males and 666 females have displayed high sense of discipline, resilience, loyalty and commitment to all camp activities.
