The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier-General Yusha’u Ahmed, has encouraged corps members to embrace their deployment locations and fulfil their one-year mandatory service with dedication.
He discouraged them from seeking redeployment and instead advised them to integrate into their assigned communities and contribute to their development.
Speaking to Batch A Stream 1 corps members at the Anambra State orientation camp during a cultural carnival, the DG emphasised prioritising their safety.
As quoted by The Nation, he said:
“I urge you to respect the culture and traditions of your host community. Remain peaceful and resilient as you add value to the community you’re posted to. I’m sure many of you will choose to remain here after your service.
“Also take your security seriously. Take time to read the instructions in your manual and abide by them accordingly. Your security is our concern, but no one can secure you more than yourself.”
