The Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has on Monday, admonished the 2021 Batch B Stream 2 Corps Members to be good ambassadors of the NYSC Scheme.

He made this address from the National Directorate Headquarters Abuja via a virtual meeting with camp officials and corps members across the federation.

While speaking to them, he informed them that the scheme has been designed to make young graduates become better. He therefore told them to take advantage of the opportunity to explore and do their best for their fatherland.

Speaking on the Place of Primary Assignments, the Director General went on to enjoin Corps Members to remain dedicated to their PPAs, and portray the NYSC scheme in a good light even as they represent the interests of the scheme as good ambassadors.

He enjoined them to explore their potentials, imparting the lives of people they come in contact with.

Furthermore, the Director General went on to advice Corps Members to stay away from peddling unhealthy information and fake news that can jeopardise the good image of the scheme. He further advised against involvement in social vices including cyber crime, cultism, amongst others.

The NYSC boss went on to state that any defaulting Corps Member caught engaging in any of these unhealthy activities will be made to face the beat.

Speaking on the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) program, the Director General enjoined Corps Members who participated in the SAED to develop their skills and make them profitable by engaging in the post-camp trainings, taking advantage of the funding options available for grants and loans to develop their businesses.

On the issue of communication, he advised Corps Members to always follow the proper channel of communication and that they should ensure they obtain permission from the NYSC authority before leaving their places of primary assignments. He asserted that no employer has the right to grant permission to travel to Corps Members except the scheme's management and therefore enjoined the members to do the right thing and follow the laid down protocols by the scheme.

Furthermore, he called on Corps Members and Camp officials to endeavour to take their COVID-19 vaccines in order to ensure safety for all.

Conclusively, the Director General rounded off his address by appreciating the Corps Members and imploring them to keep to all injunctions that have been given to them as they will lead them to a successful service year and charged them to avoid night journeys at all cost.
