Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu, the director general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has cautioned corps members against engaging in indiscipline, which could attract penalties during their service year.
Nafiu gave the warning while addressing the 2025 Batch ‘A’ Stream 1 Corps Members at the Orientation Camp, Dakingari, in Suru Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
A statement signed by the acting spokesperson of the NYSC, Caroline Embu, stressed the need for Corps Members to serve as good representatives of the Scheme wherever they are posted to after the Orientation Exercise.
According to the statement, “the Government places a high premium on their security and welfare and should therefore be ready to reciprocate the good gesture.

“Obey the NYSC Act, by-laws and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
