See NYSC as opportunity to realise your potential – Osun NYSC DG

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has emphasised the importance of the three weeks orientation course as an avenue for corps members to realise their potential and attain individual feats during and after the service year.

The Corps said the orientation programme allows corps members to promote national unity and integration.

This is contained in a speech by Christy Uba, the Acting Director General, NYSC at the swearing-in ceremony of the 2022 Batch C Stream II corps members deployed to Osun State on Tuesday in Ede.

Represented by Abdulwahab Olayinka, the Osun NYSC Coordinator called on the corps members to abide by their oath of allegiance and NYSC bye-laws as it is expected to guide their conduct during their service year.

She urged corps members to maintain a high level of discipline and enthusiasm and charged them to distance themselves from cultism, drug abuse and other social vices.

In her words, “I implore you to sustain the high level of discipline and enthusiasm you have demonstrated so far. You must continue to distance yourselves from cultism, drug abuse and other social vices. I also urge you to avoid using social media for spreading fake news, fuelling hatred and other negative purposes, and instead deploy the same for the promotion of national unity and development
