“Avoid Night Traveling Because of Its Dangers” – NYSC DG Cautions Corps Members
The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed, has once again urged corps members to prioritize their safety while serving the nation.
He issued a strong warning against taking risks when traveling, particularly by boarding vehicles from random roadside spots.
During his visit to the Anambra State Orientation Camp in Mbaukwu and the Ebonyi State Orientation Camp in Afikpo on Friday, Brigadier General Ahmed emphasized the importance of caution and vigilance.
He advised corps members to avoid traveling at night due to the heightened dangers associated with it, such as road accidents, crime, and other unforeseen risks.
Instead, he encouraged them to always board vehicles from designated motor parks, where transportation is more organized and secure.
“Traveling at night poses serious risks,” he cautioned.
“For your safety, always use approved motor parks and avoid boarding vehicles by the roadside.”
Brigadier General Ahmed also underscored the importance of integrating into the host communities where corps members are posted.
He encouraged them to learn about the culture, traditions, and values of these communities.
By doing so, they can build trust and foster mutual understanding with local residents.
He urged corps members to initiate community development projects that address the needs of their host communities and leave a lasting, positive impact.
The NYSC, established in 1973, plays a critical role in promoting national unity and development.
The service year is designed to give Nigerian graduates the opportunity to contribute to societal growth while developing essential life and leadership skills.
In line with this mission, Brigadier General Ahmed reminded corps members of the potential for meaningful relationships during their service year.
He encouraged them to form genuine friendships and professional connections that could benefit them long after the service year concludes.
“Your service year is not just about fulfilling a requirement; it’s an opportunity to plan for your future,” he added.
“The bonds you form and the lessons you learn now can shape your life in significant ways.”
Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Youths and Sports, has once again pointed out the presence of a dangerous cabal within President Bola Tinubu’s administration, suggesting they are shaping the decisions and actions of the current government.
Speaking on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Friday, Dalung emphasized that this influential group was working against the country’s best interests.
Dalung went further to describe the cabal as “dangerous,” claiming their actions are driven by personal gain rather than the welfare of the people or the administration.
He stated, “If you look at the hardship in the country and the president’s reaction, it’s completely a disconnect from the reality we are dealing with.
The cabal’s infrastructure is still effective, influencing the government in ways that go against the president’s intentions.”
He warned that the cabal’s actions, which seem at odds with the president’s plans, are undermining efforts that could have brought positive change to Nigerians.
Their self-serving interests, according to Dalung, are leading to decisions that hurt the nation rather than help it.
Despite revealing his views, Dalung chose not to name the individuals he believes make up the cabal, leaving that task to investigative journalists.
“It’s up to you to dig deeper and uncover the identities of those involved.
I have the right to reserve the names I think are part of the cabal,” he said.
Nigerian Government receives $52.88m from the United States recovered from the Galactica assets. The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minster Of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi revealed that a formal signing ceremony was held for Nigeria and the Unites States on Friday in Abuja.
Fagbemi states that $50 million of the assets will be sent to the World Bank for the rural electrification project, while the remaining money will be sent to the International Institute of Justice to expand the justice system.
The President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu also used the event as an opportunity to address the issue of corruption in the country.
NYSC denies allegations of issuing queries to 200 corps members in Oyo state for missing a Christmas Carol. A statement was released by the NYSC’s spokesperson, Eddy Megwa, addressing the issue at hand.
“The NYSC respects the religious rights of all corps members and remains committed to fostering unity and tolerance.” The spokesperson stated that the queries were given due to the corp members failing tom participate in their CDS (Community Development Service ) activities.
She added that the corp members were not present at their places of primary assignment during the period.
