2023: Shun local politics, NYSC warns Corps members
The Director-General, NYSC, Brigadier General MK Fadah, handled down the warning during the closing ceremony of the 2022 batch “B” Stream I Orientation course, in Afikpo, Ebonyi State.
Represented by the Coordinator, NYSC, Ebonyi State, Bamai Mercy, the DG urged the Corps members “to sustain the spirit of patriotism, hard work and resilience which you imbibed during the Orientation Course” even as he expressed hope that the Corp members “will strive to meet the expectations of Nigerians by contributing towards the progress and development of our fatherland.”
He encourage the Corps members to “perform their duties with diligence and be guided by the provisions of the NYSC Act and Bye-Laws as well as workplace rules and regulations.”
He said: “Furthermore, I enjoin you to undertake personal and group Community Development Service (CDS) projects that will help to increase the living standard of the people of your host communities. I have received quality reports on your participation in the entrepreneurial trainings conducted in Camp under the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.
“I encourage you to build on the skills acquired by availing yourselves of opportunities for post-camp training as this will go a long way in empowering you for self-reliance.
