Y.D Ahmed, the director general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has warned corps members to avoid unethical behaviour during their one-year service year.
A statement by Caroline Embu, the acting spokesperson of the NYSC, said Ahmed spoke at the Niger state orientation camp in Paiko while addressing the 2024 batch ‘B’ stream two corps members
He warned that erring corps members would be sanctioned in accordance with the provisions of the NYSC byelaws.
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 attracts sanctions,” the statement reads.
“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.”
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 DG, Olayinka Wahab, the NYSC Niger state coordinator, said corps members have adjusted to camp life.
She said 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
