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.
