Members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have been urged to be security conscious in order not to fall victim of unpleasant situations that might endanger their lives.
The Director of Human Resource Management Department of the Scheme, Salawu Abdulsalam said this on Sunday in Katsina, while addressing corps members of 2019 Batch C Stream II serving in the state Katsina.
Abdulsalam insisted that there is insecurity everywhere hence the need for them to beware of persons and friends they will want to associate.
He used the forum to also advise the corps members to always appreciate their parents who had invested heavily in them as well as the divine protection they had enjoyed from God who has sustained them to the present level of their lives.
He said “you must avoid unnecessary journeys especially travelling without permission from your coordinators. From experience corps members who got involved in road traffic accidents were those who embarked on unauthorized journeys”.
“Please ensure you dedicate your time to the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) to engage yourselves instead of travelling about without permission”
