Director-General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed, has warned corps members against sharing camp activities on social media.
Ahmed said moments captured during the three weeks of exercise must only be for their consumption.
The DG, according to a statement on Sunday, handed down the warning while addressing the 2024 Batch A Stream 1 corps members at the NYSC Ogun State Permanent Orientation Camp, Sagamu.

He also warned the corps members against unnecessary journeys, particularly, unauthorised journeys, urging them to take their safety more seriously than anything else.
While urging the corps members to make the best of their service year, Ahmed said,
“Don’t allow your service year to go idle without utilising it. No single hour should go unproductive. You must continue to do something in line with your goals.
“You are not expected to post camp activities on social media, whatever is recorded should be for your personal consumption.
“You must also be wary of embarking on unnecessary and unauthorised journeys, take personal security seriously.”

Ahmed also advised the corps members to key into the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Programme to be wealth creators.
He said the scheme is collaborating with several financial institutions such as Bank of Industry, Access Bank, Wema Bank, NNPC Foundation and others, to give Corps Members interest-free loans and grants.
Earlier in her welcome address, the State Coordinator, Olayinka Nasamu, reported that the participants have exhibited good behaviour and adapted to the regimented life on camp.
The NYSC DG donated four cows and cash gifts to several categories of corps members.
In the DG’s entourage were the Director, Special Duties, Mrs. Bona Fasakin, the Director, Press and Public Relations Unit, Mr. Edwin Megwa among others.
NYSC is a year programme that starts with a three-week orientation course and it is compulsory for all Nigerian graduates mobilised for national service.
