The director-general, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed, has implored Corps Members to accept their postings to places of primary assignment in good faith.
He urged them to quickly settle down to the task of nation building and development in their respective places of primary assignment in any community.
Brig.-Gen. Ahmed stated this on Tuesday at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course at the Magaji Dan Yamusa NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
According to a press statement by the NYSC acting director of information and public relations, Caroline Embu, the director-general also advised the Corps Members against embarking on any youthful adventure that could expose them to danger.
“Accept your postings in good faith and resist the temptation to seek reposting. Begin to make meaningful impact as you have been trained to do.
“Focus on making positive contributions in your host communities and serve as exemplary ambassadors of your families, the NYSC and the nation at large,” the DG was quoted as saying.
He added that their impactful contributions to the development of their host communities would perpetuate the continued relevance of the NYSC Scheme.
While assuring the Corps Members that his administration places high premium on their security and welfare, the NYSC director-general charged them to do their own part in safe-guarding themselves by adhering to basic security measures.
