NYSC DG Urges Corps Members to Embrace Postings and Serve with Humility
The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General YD Ahmed, has urged corps members to embrace their assigned postings with a positive attitude and quickly integrate into their new roles to contribute meaningfully to the development of their communities.
This call was made during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course held at the Magaji Dan Yamuna NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Keffi, Nasarawa State.
General Ahmed emphasized the importance of nation-building and encouraged the corps members to serve as role models, not only for their families but also for the communities where they will be working.
He highlighted that the contributions they make during their service year will play a significant role in maintaining the relevance of the NYSC program.
By positively impacting their host communities, they can leave a lasting legacy.
“Embrace your postings with an open mind and resist the urge to seek reposting,” General Ahmed advised, urging the corps members to utilize the training they have received to make a difference in their respective places of primary assignment.
He further reassured them that the NYSC is committed to ensuring their security and welfare throughout their service year.
He also cautioned them against engaging in activities that may put them at risk and encouraged them to approach their service year with humility and a selfless attitude.
He reminded the corps members that this is an opportunity to serve the nation and contribute to its development in a meaningful way.
General Ahmed concluded by urging the corps members to be dedicated and responsible in all their endeavours during their national service, as their actions would reflect not only on themselves but also on the NYSC program as a whole.
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani declines invitation to judge the Miss World Nigeria Beauty Pageant.

Ben Bruce takes to social media to invite the former senator to be present at the event and sit as a judge.

Nigerian Comedian, Mr Macaroni expresses dissatisfaction with the Governor of Lagos State over traffic issues.
It can be reported that Lagos has been suffering through a serious traffic phase. The reason behind this was revealed to be the Independence Bridge repairs.
Governor Sanwo Olu then pleaded with Lagosians to bear with the traffic as the repair is necessary. “Let’s think outside the box. If you don’t have business to do in Victoria Island in the next 2 to 3 weeks, conduct your business online and plan ahead.”
However, Mr Macaroni reacts to the Governor’s plea by stating “If the government had any regard whatsoever for the people of Lagos, these measures and more extensive ones would have been taken before yesterday to make this process as painless as possible for the people.”
He lamented on the serious effect that this traffic has taken on people’s day to day life and shared that the government didn’t consider its people.
Michelle Obama recently shared that when she first met Barack Obama, he wasn’t “financially sound.”
The couple crossed paths in 1988 when Barack joined a law firm in Chicago, where Michelle was already working. On a recent podcast episode she hosts with her brother, Craig, Michelle reflected on the importance of financial stability in a relationship.
During a conversation with British author Jay Shetty, Craig asked Michelle, “Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially stable when you meet him?”
Without hesitation, Michelle replied, “Uh, I married one.”
Craig, who seemed to have set her up for that response, laughed and jokingly said, “Don’t you like that alley-oop I just threw you? In basketball, you just point—you don’t even have to say it.”
