NYSC DG Warns Corps Members on Uniform Integrity
Brigadier General YD Ahmed, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has issued a stern warning to serving corps members about the importance of maintaining the integrity of their NYSC uniforms.
During his recent visits to the orientation camps in Gombe State and Taraba State, General Ahmed emphasized the need for corps members to adhere strictly to the NYSC dress code.
Addressing the corps members at the camps in Amada and Sibre, General Ahmed stressed that improper dressing and defacement of the NYSC uniforms would lead to sanctions.
He reiterated that all corps members are expected to uphold the standards set by the Scheme and dress appropriately at all times.
In addition to uniform regulations, General Ahmed encouraged corps members to make a positive impact on their host communities by undertaking projects that contribute to the enhancement of local living standards.
He underscored the importance of utilizing the NYSC period as an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
The Director-General also highlighted the value of the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme, advising corps members to take full advantage of it.
He noted that many former corps members who embraced the skill acquisition opportunities during their service years have gone on to become successful entrepreneurs and employers across the country.
Furthermore, General Ahmed urged corps members to engage with the North-East SAED training centre in Gombe, which offers advanced training and access to sophisticated equipment.
He encouraged them to leverage these resources to acquire new skills and enhance their future job prospects.
In summary, General Ahmed’s message emphasized the dual focus of maintaining uniform standards and capitalizing on skill development opportunities to ensure both personal growth and meaningful contributions to society.
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
With the rainy season in Nigeria, many are wondering if the increase in flooding has now become the new normal. Lots of videos, clips, and complaints have literally flooded online, showing how badly roads, homes, and other places have been affected.
We were used to hearing about the rise of water on the Island since it is literally surrounded by water, but now floods are being spotted on the Mainland as well.
We may not know exactly why this is happening, but one thing is certain—we urgently need a lasting solution.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
