Nysc DG urges corps members to be law abiding

The Director General National Youth Service Corps Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim has charged the 2021 Batch C stream II corps members to continue to be law abiding and serve as role models to the younger ones. 

He urged them to be good ambassadors of the scheme as well as their families and institutions of graduation. 

The Director General who was represented by the State Coordinator, NYSC Oyo State, Mrs. Grace Ogbuogebe made this call during the Closing Ceremony of the 2021 Batch C Stream II Orientation Excercise at Iseyin camp.

He also emphasized on the need for the corps members to shun every act that can soil the image of the scheme.

Gen Ibrahim reminded them of the oath of allegiance they have sworn  into and tasked them to follow the content of the oath to the letter by accepting their posting in good faith. 

He equally enjoined them to perform their duties with diligence and be guided by the provisions of the NYSC Act and Bye-Laws as well as work place rules and regulations.

While commending the corps members on their active participation in the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED)programme, DG encouraged them to build on their chosen skills by availing themselves of the opportunity of post camp training.

He advised them to embrace SAED with all seriousness as it will go a long way to empower them for self employment.

The NYSC Boss also warned the corps members to stay away from acts that can expose them to danger while condemning the acts of staying out late in the night, attending night parties and embarking on risky adventure as such can put them in harm's way. 

He however assured them that the NYSC Management is committed to their security and general welfare for them to have a fulfilling service year.

The Director General further warned the corps members against granting press interview and negative use of the social media. 

He cautioned them against peddling false information and promoting hatred in the social media rather they should engage in activities geared towards self improvement and advancement of unity, peace and prosperity of our nation.

In Oyo State 2,357 corps members participated in the three-week Orientation Course. It is expected that all the trainings they have received  while in camp would be brought to bear in their Places of Primary Assignment and host communities.
