“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.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has explained the reason behind the formation of the new opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC). According to Atiku, the coalition was created to defend Nigeria’s democracy from what he sees as growing authoritarian tendencies and the manipulation of elections under the current ruling party.
He emphasized that the alliance is not about political heavyweights like himself, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, or Nasir El-Rufai battling for the 2027 presidency, but about safeguarding the country’s democratic future.
Atiku made it clear that the movement isn’t aimed at attacking President Tinubu, but rather focused on putting Nigeria first. “This isn’t about fighting Tinubu,” he said. “It’s about protecting democracy and making sure Nigerians come first.”
Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged the Super Falcons to give their all and bring home victory as they face hosts Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. With just 90 minutes standing between them and a record-extending 10th WAFCON title, the First Lady praised the team for their performance so far and encouraged them to finish strong.
In a video message shared on the Super Falcons’ official X account, she said, “My beautiful Super Falcons, congratulations on reaching the final. Your team spirit, dedication, and professionalism have been remarkable. You’ve become shining examples for young girls across Nigeria and Africa.”
She added, “As you take the field, may God grant you victory. Go and make us proud. Nigerians, including myself, are waiting to welcome you back with the trophy in your hands.”
