The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has called on members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to maintain integrity during election processes and not be biased.
The advice was proffered during a sensitisation exercise at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Nonwa-Gbam, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State on Wednesday.
At the event, Robinson Kuroghobogha David, Rivers State Training Department of INEC explained the significant contribution of the corps members to Nigeria’s electoral activities through their positions as ad hoc workers during general and off-cycle elections.
According to him, he charged the corps members to maintain the core values of the commission anytime they go out on national assignments.
According to Mr David, the core values include autonomy, transparency, integrity, credibility, impartiality, dedication, equity, excellence, and teamwork.
The sensitisation exercise also acquainted the participants with election management, political neutrality, maintenance of electoral integrity and application of technology in Nigeria’s electoral activities.
