NYSC DG Tasks Staff, Corps Members On Patriotism

Director-general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig. General Yusha’u Ahmed, has tasked staff and corps members to be more patriotic and rededicate themselves to the ideals of nation-building.

Ahmed, who stated this in his new year message urged corps members to also sustain peaceful and harmonious coexistence with people of their host communities and shun acts that can tarnish the image of the country, NYSC Scheme and their families.

While thanking God for bringing them safely into another year, he commended them for what they have achieved collectively in the past year which was made possible by their unflinching commitment to the pursuit of the noble objectives of the NYSC.

“It is my belief that we will demonstrate greater zeal and dedication in discharging our responsibilities this year.

“For us to build a country of our dreams which all of us can be proud of, I enjoin us to be more patriotic and rededicate ourselves to the ideals of nation-building.

“I particularly urge my dear corps members to sustain peaceful and harmonious coexistence with people of your host communities and shun acts that can tarnish the image of our country, NYSC Scheme and your families.

“As we enter the new year and get set to execute the programmes of the Scheme in line with our mandate, I urge us to remain diligent in our assigned duties and continue to work assiduously for the progress and success of the scheme.

“The lessons of the past year will be useful in guiding us to success in the year ahead. Consequently, I implore that we sustain our exemplary good work ethics and strive to uphold the integrity of the Scheme at all times,” he said.

He said the NYSC will continue to pursue and implement policies and programmes that have direct and positive impact on the welfare of staff and corps members, which is a key component of his policy agenda.
