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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
