The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Yusha’u Ahmed, has warned serving corps members against violating the scheme’s dress codes.
The NYSC boss, who gave the warning on Wednesday night while addressing this year’s Batch “C” Stream 1 corps members at the Katsina orientation camps of the scheme, said failure to dress properly in approved NYSC kits would attract punishments from the management.
He urged the corps members to always dress properly in their NYSC kits to avoid embarrassment.
“I have mandated all the workers of the NYSC to watch and monitor the corps members anywhere they go. Anyone who fails to use the kits appropriately should be made to surrender the uniform.
“Also, you must desist from posting anything on camp activities on the social media,” Ahmed said.
The NYSC boss advised the corps members to key into the scheme’s Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) to secure their future in the face of youth unemployment in the country.
He urged them to approach the service year with the spirit of patriotism, loyalty, and commitment by putting Nigeria first before all other things.
Also, Ahmed has advised corps members to avoid night journeys, social vices, and partisan politics.
The NYSC boss recalled the four cardinal principles of the scheme, including its Act and bylaws that contain all that the corps members should know to have a successful service year.
The Katsina State NYSC Coordinator, Hajiya Aisha Muhammad, told the director general that the corps members were disciplined and obedient to camp rules and regulations.
The state coordinator said the corps members had been duly registered, kitted, and sworn to the oath of allegiance to ensure the smooth running of the orientation course.
During his visit, Ahmed inaugurated the newly constructed quarter guard and inspected the quarter guard mounted by the Batch “C” Stream 1 corps members.
