The Director-General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.- Gen. Yushau Ahmed has warned corps members against posting camp activities on social media.
Brig Gen Ahmed reminded them that posting of activities in camp on social media is a violation of scheme’s standing rules and policies.
Ahmed, who was speaking during a visit to NYSC Orientation Camp in Ede, Osun state on Friday advised corps members in camps across the nation to maintain good character and discipline during the three weeks of orientation exercises.
The DG urged corps members to be focused and take advantage of the skills acquisition programmes in the camp.
He noted that knowledge and skills acquired by corps members would make them independent and better individuals after their service year.
The DG said, “The skill acquisition is targeted towards making you independent in order not to depend on white collar jobs .”
We are in collaboration with stakeholders that will give you grants. Please take this measure seriously.”
Ahmed also assured them of safety and security, adding that camp officials will never post them anywhere unsafe as they are important.
He added, “Guide yourself against any danger and be vigilant. Also, take precautionary measures by ensuring you stay safe.”
In addition, Ahmed advised them to maintain best hygiene while in camp in order not to be infected with any disease, especially cholera diseases.
He also urged the corps members to be good ambassadors wherever they are posted in the country.
