The Digest:

The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, has issued a stern directive to corps members, emphasising personal security and responsible conduct to navigate the inherent challenges of the service year.

Key Points:
  • The DG warned 2025 Batch ‘C’ members in Edo State against embarking on any journey without official permission.
  • He highlighted the need to avoid night travel to prevent “avoidable dangers” on Nigeria’s highways.
  • Corps members were admonished to be personally vigilant at their Places of Primary Assignment.
  • A caution was given against circulating unverified information on social media platforms.
  • The DG urged total abstinence from social vices like cultism, cybercrime, and political thuggery.
  • These acts were stated as jeopardising both personal safety and the integrity of the service.
  • The state coordinator thanked the DG for providing an enabling environment at the camp.
The warning underscores the institution’s attempt to shield its members from external and self-inflicted perils, reinforcing that the journey of service requires both official structure and personal accountability.
