The National Youth Service Corps has tagged it an offence
for corps members to paint the scheme and the nation bad on social media.
NYSC Director-General, Shuaibu Ibrahim, made the disclosure in his address at the
closing ceremony of the orientation course for the 2021 Batch C, Stream 1, held
on Tuesday at NYSC Temporary Orientation Camp, Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that Ibrahim was
represented by the Coordinator, NYSC Lagos Office, Eddy Megwa, at the
passing-out of the 2,015 corp members.
“It is not in your place to go into the social media to
paint the scheme which you are part and parcel bad, but you are rather expected
to use the platform to your credit and NYSC.
It is, therefore, an offence to have any corps member to go into the
social media space to paint the scheme or nation at large in a bad note,” he
said.
The NYSC DG also warned the corps members against travelling
at night, while stressing the need for them to be more security conscious as
they embark on the second phase of the scheme.
“Avoid travelling as much as you can, and in case you are on
transit and is getting late after 6:00 p.m, please endeavour to pass the night
there and save your life,” he advised.
