Thursday, December 05, 2024 - The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brigadier General YD Ahmed, has warned corps members not to go against the cultures and traditions of places they are posted to serve their fatherland.
He also warned them against endangering themselves by embarking on
dangerous adventures like night journeys and other improper lifestyles that can
expose them to danger.
Ahmed stated this while addressing Corps members at the NYSC Edo and
Delta State Orientation Camps.
He said the management placed high priority on the welfare and security
of all Corps members, advising them not to expose themselves to danger.
The Director General also advised the Corps members to integrate
themselves into their respective host communities on leaving the Orientation
Camp and settle down to contribute their quota to national development.
He further urged them to endeavor to embark on community development
projects that would benefit their host communities.
“Respect the culture and tradition of wherever you are posted to. Try
and settle down in your places of primary assignment immediately you leave camp
and serve diligently.
“Beware of bad friends and avoid every behavior that can jeopardize your
future. Your parents have laboured for you and this is the time you have to
reap the fruits of your labour”, he said.
In her camp situation report to the Director General, the NYSC Edo State
Coordinator, Mrs Frances Ben-Ushie said the 1,287 Corps members, comprising 551
males and 736 females have been incorporated into the various camp committees,
and are making very meaningful contributions towards the success of the
