Director General of National Youth Service Corps has warned Corps Members to shun every form of misconduct throughout their service year in order to avoid being sanctioned by the NYSC Byelaws.
Brigadier General YD Ahmed gave the warning while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream Two Corps Members at Niger State Orientation Camp in Paiko.
He said there are laid down rules and regulations that regulate the conduct of every Corps Member, adding that the Scheme is not a safe abode for lawbreakers.
“NYSC bye laws would be applied on every infraction committed by any Corps Member. Be law-abiding throughout your service year. You are expected to dress in line with the approved NYSC dress code because improper dressing attract sanctions.
As much as possible, avoid unnecessary and risky adventure that may put you in danger. Be security conscious at all times and reject the temptation of free rides”, he said.
General Ahmed also appealed to the Corps Members to add value to their host communities by executing projects that would make life more comfortable for the residents.
While giving her camp brief to the Director General, the NYSC Niger State Coordinator, Mrs Olayinka Wahab said the Corps Members have adjusted to camp life.
Wahab disclosed that they have demonstrated strong sense of responsibility, patriotism and commitment to the ideals of NYSC.
She also said camp officials are working as a team with Corps Members participating actively in all camp activities as good ambassadors of their institutions and families towards ensuring a successful Orientation Course.
