Promote positive content on social media, NYSC DG tells corps members

YD Ahmed, director general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has urged corps members to promote positive content on social media.

In a statement by Caroline Embu, NYSC’s acting spokesperson, Ahmed said this while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘B’ Stream II corps members in Jigawa, and Bauchi states.

The DG warned the youths to avoid infractions by adhering to the NYSC bye-laws during their service year.

He said corps members should endeavour to serve the country as “good ambassadors” of their families, institutions, and NYSC.

He advised the members to “respect the cultures and traditions of their host communities” while creating “harmonious relationships” with them.

Jidda Dawut, Jigawa state coordinator of the NYSC, said 1,434 corps members including 774 males and 660 females were registered at the camp.
