Corps Members have been warned not to endanger themselves by embarking on dangerous adventures like night journeys and other improper lifestyles that can expose them to danger.
Caroline Embu, the Acting Director, Information and Public Relations of the NYSC disclosed this in a statement signed on Thursday.
The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General YD Ahmed stated this while addressing Corps Members at NYSC Edo and Delta State Orientation Camps.
He said Management placed high priority on the welfare and security of all Corps Members, therefore no Corps Member should expose himself to danger.
The Director General also advised the Corps Members to integrate themselves into their respective host communities on leaving the Orientation Camp and settle down to contribute their quota to national development.
He further urged them to endeavor to embark on community development projects that would benefit their host communities.
“Respect the culture and tradition of wherever you are posted to. Try and settle down in your places of primary assignment immediately you leave camp and serve diligently.
“Beware of bad friends and avoid every behavior that can jeopardize your future. Your parents have laboured for you and this is the time you have to reap the fruits of your labour”, he said.
In her camp situation report to the Director General, the NYSC Edo State Coordinator, Mrs Frances Ben-Ushie said the 1,287 Corps Members comprising 551 males and 736 females have been incorporated into the various camp committees, and are making very meaningful contributions towards the success of the Orientation Course.
