Youth and sports minister, Mr Sunday Dare, has charged National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members involved in the organisation of the 2023 elections to be good ambassadors of the scheme by conducting themselves with maturity.
Thousands of corps members after undergoing several trainings will be deployed as electoral officials across the country for Saturday, February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections and the March 11 governorship and State Assembly elections to manage polls either as presiding or assistant presiding officers.
The minister in a statement issued by his executive media aide, Kola Daniel, challenged the corps members to discharge their responsibilities with fairness.
“The elections are very significant and those of you picked and trained to play such important roles should be firm and fair, shun every temptation and be our good and worthy representatives.
“I am appealing to you to conduct yourselves with maturity, be above board and ensure you carry out the tasks assigned to you with a high level of patriotism and commitment,” Dare said.
