Director General of th National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mohammed Fada, has charged corps members to use the lessons learnt during their three-weeks orientation course for the development of their hosting communities and places of primary assignments.

Fada stated this, yesterday, while addressing the 2022 Batch ‘B’ Stream 1 corps members during the orientation course closing ceremony at Dakingari camp, Suru Local Government Area, Kebbi State. 

Also, the closing ceremony ended on a lovely note with a conjugal engagement between corps members, Eze James Uwaezuoke, KB/22B/0015 from Imo State and Isiorahov Oja Efemena, KB/22A/0616 of Delta State, while the Kebbi State Coordinator, Mustapha Mohammed gave them his fatherly blessings. 

While addressing the corps members, the DG, represented by Mohammed, admonished them to respect and learn the culture of their respective host communities, abide by the rules and regulations in their places of primary assignments, as well as avoid any act that can endanger their safety. 

“I enjoin you to perform your duties with diligence and be guided by the provisions of the NYSC Act and bye-laws as well as workplace rules and regulations”. 

The director general urged them to serve as good ambassadors for their families, institutions and NYSC.

He charged the corps members to ensure they reflect on all the four cardinal programmes of the scheme, as they have been taught during the orientation course. 

The NYSC boss warned them to desist from negative use of social media and encouraged them to use the platform to promote national unity and integration.
