Greetings,

Wonderful your director is stressing good social values as a means of becoming the ideal Nigerian citizen. However, I wonder, is it true that 5 sets of NYSC Corpers that have graduated still remain with in a livelihood and consistent means of income? What are director's wise words on how to correct this issue so that these corpers, despite good upbringing, will not get lured into a life of crime or even worst occultism, by becoming dismayed at their bleak life opportunities. I do understand there is a recession currently present so could you please explain how the director of NYSC has mobilized corpers to help eliminate the negative affects upon their attitudes of adjustment? Thank you.
