Concerned over their welfare and safety, the Director, National Youth Service Corps NYSC North West Area Office II, Sokoto, Mr. Anthony Nzoka, has urged corps members to be security conscious.
Nzoka gave this charge following the level of insecurity in Rivers State and Nigeria at large.
Addressing the 2025 Batch C corps members deployed to Rivers State, at the permanent orientation camp, Nonwa-Gbam Tai, the NYSC director, also advised them to work diligently and selflessly.
He revealed that diligent and selfless services to their host communities would make the people of the state feel their impact positively.
Nzoka charged the corps members to be, “intentional in acquiring a skill and be ready to provide effective leadership in your places of primary assignment, because leadership come to those who are ready and prepared for it.”
Further, he enjoined them to use the opportunity of the service year to, “build bridges of national unity and integration through meaningful relationships that can endure for a lifetime. Be conscientious in the discharge of your duties as will be assigned to you by your employer.
“Be security conscious, respect the culture and tradition of the people of your host community, dress properly, and decently, be accountable to your fellow corps members, abhor the abuse of social media and not engage in useless expedition.”
Earlier, the State NYSC Coordinator, Mr. Moses Oleghe had lauded the conduct of the corps members deployed to the state, describing them as well behaved, passionate, zealous and impact driven.
Oleghe informed the director that the 2025 Batch C corps members were “one of the best set of corps members in recent times in the State.”
