The Director-General of National Youth Service Corps, Brig.-Gen. Yusha’u Ahmed, has in his maiden visit to the Kaduna Orientation Camp advised corps members against embarking on unauthorised journeys, stressing that they could undermine their security.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the visit which took place on Saturday was the first by the DG since his assumption of office on January 30.
Addressing the 2023 Batch “A” stream “I” corps members, who were having their orientation programme at the temporary orientation camp at the Government College, Kurmin Mashi, Kaduna, Ahmed said unauthorised journeys would attract sanctions as enshrined in the scheme’s Acts.
He noted that his administration would continue to ensure that corps members enjoyed improved welfare and security.
He stressed that the contents of the NYSC Bye-Laws would be applied on every infraction, adding that corps members must conduct themselves within the provisions of the law.
The DG specifically warned the corps members not to indulge in political arguments, but rather participate as unbiased electoral officers, by taking cognisance of the electoral laws during the forthcoming 2023 general election.
He also warned them against posting camp activities on social media, urging them to forward their complaints to the scheme’s management.
The NYSC chief executive also advised the corps members to ensure that they left good legacies in their places of primary assignments and host communities.
