Brig.-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps ( NYSC ), has urged corps members to consider enlisting in the armed forces.
Kazaure gave the advice in an interview with the News men on Tuesday at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Sagamu, Ogun.
The director-general, who inspected various physical and combat activities of the 2018 Batch ‘A’ corps members deployed to Ogun, said he was impressed by their level of discipline.
Kazaure, who also watched the quarter-guard, Man-O-War regiment, martial arts combats as well as the band display of the corps members, said he was certain that they would excel in the military.
He described the Ogun Orientation camp as one of the best in the country, noting that it had been persistent over the years in maintaining excellence in the training of corps members.
“With what I have witnessed here today, I can confidently state that this has been by far the best set of corps members ever received in Ogun State camp.
“Their level of discipline and adherence to the teachings of their instructors has been excellent and I urge them to maintain the status quo.
“The orientation programme was designed to help prepare corps members for the challenges ahead during their service year and these ones will do very well to cope.
“To join the army, there are guidelines. You must be physically, medically and mentally fit.
“The army will subject you to a lot of exams both written and oral before the final selection. If you meet all the required indices, you will be enlisted,” he said.
