Share

Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has warned Corps members to refrain from posting camp activities on social media.

He said posting happenings in camp on social media is a violation of the scheme’s standing rules and policies.

Speaking during a visit to the NYSC Orientation Camp in Ede, Osun State on Friday, General Ahmed said; “You are not expected to post camp activities on social media, whatever is recorded should be for your personal consumption.

“You must also be wary of embarking on unnecessary and unauthorised journeys, take personal security seriously.”

He charged Corps members in camps nationwide to always maintain good character and discipline during the three weeks orientation exercise.

Also tasking the corps members on being focused and taking advantage of the skills acquisition programme in camp for their empowerment, Director General said the knowledge and skills acquired should make them self independent and better individuals after their service year.

According to him; “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, that means you all should take this measure seriously.”

While assuring the Corps members of their safety and security, General Ahmed said; “The camp officials will never post you to anywhere that is not safe for you . You are important to us .

“Guide yourself against any danger and be vigilant. Also, take precautionary measures by ensuring you stay safe.”

Importantly too, he urged them to maintain the best hygiene while in camp to avoid being infected with any disease, especially cholera that is currently spreading across some states in the country.

“You must remain clean. Ensure you wash your hands as much as possible. Avoid anything that will endanger your health.”

The NYSC boss, who also urged Corps members to be good ambassadors wherever they are posted to in the country, said; “Don’t allow your service year to go idle without utilising it. No single hour should go unproductive. You must continue to do something in line with your goals.

The NYSC State Coordinator in Osun, Mr Agbor Obim, commended the Director General for visiting the camp and also his love for the corps members.
