Embrace entrepreneurial skills, shun negative vices, NYSC DG urges corps members
Director-General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Yushau Ahmed, has urged corps members to embrace entrepreneurial skills that will serve as their life-time assets.
Ahmed stated this at the swearing-in of 2024 Batch A, Stream I orientation course on Tuesday in Ede, Osun.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a total of 1,126 corps members, comprising 573 males and 553 females, were deployed to Osun, in addition to the 1,017 others who joined them from Lagos for the three-week course.

The director-general said that the skills and values imparted in them during their orientation course would serve as life-time assets, which would also guide their actions.
He urged them to recognise the potentials within them, as they navigate the diverse activities which would serve as catalysts for positive change.
“Embrace the diversity of your fellow participants and it is through understanding and collaboration that you can strengthen the fabric of our national unity.
“The orientation course is not just a training programme but a foundation for building responsible youths who are equipped with necessary skills and values for meaningful contributions to the society,” he said.
According to him, the exercise should not be viewed as a mere formality but a sacred commitment to the ideals of service, unity and patriotism.
Ahmed, however, said that the scheme had a system of rewarding hard work and diligence, urging corps members to distinguish themselves as true patriots during their service year.
Also speaking, Gov. Ademola Adeleke of Osun said that the safety of all corps members in the state was paramount to his administration, assuring that no effort would be spared in creating an environment that would allow them to thrive.
Adeleke called on the corps members to engage themselves with acts that would further foster a sense of nationhood among them while in the state.
“Embrace your roles with dedication and passion, and let the values of diligence, integrity and selflessness guide your actions.
“May your experience be filled with valuable lessons, lifelong friendship and a deepened sense of purpose,” Adeleke said.
