The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Suleman Kazaure, has warned corps members against unauthorised trips and taking of illicit drugs at the course of service.
This is as he tasked the Corp members to join the crusade against corruption.
The DG, gave the warning while addressing the 2016 Batch 'A' Corps members at the Orientation Camps in Benue and Nasarawa states.
Kazaure, who assured the scheme, would always priority security and welfare of corps members advised them to be agents of change.
While describing corruption as a monster, which had caused a lot of setbacks to the growth and development of the country he said; "We need to tackle corruption at all cost. So, let us work together to achieve that."
He advised them to avail themselves of the opportunity for self-employment provided through the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.
"I don't want you to go in search of jobs; instead, you should create jobs for others. If you can secure white collar job, fine, but don't spend too much time searching for it when you have the chance to be your own boss," he added.
Kazaure told them that the regimented nature of camp life was not intended to impose hardship, but to inculcate discipline in them and prepare them for the challenges of the service period and leadership.
He urged the Corp members to add values to their host communities, especially through Community Development Service.
"I urge you to integrate well with your host communities; appreciate and respect their cultures. Also, know that indecent dressing is not allowed both in and out of camp," he added.
