Batch C, Stream 1 corps members posted to Anambra State have been warned not to engage in local politics in their place of primary assignment in the state.
The NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shiabu Ibrahim, gave the warning while addressing the corps members at a low-key closing ceremony of the orientation programme for the Batch at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Unity NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Umauwulu/Mbaukwu, in Awka South Council Area of the state, on Wednesday.
According to the NYSC boss, who was represented by the Coordinator of the scheme, Mrs Yetunde Baderinwa, said the best way to make an impact in their various places of primary assignment is for them to have in mind that they are to be good ambassadors of the scheme, their family and Nigeria at large.
In his words, I will like to remind you of your oath of allegiance in which you pledged to accept posting in good faith. I enjoin you to perform your duties with diligence and be guided by the provisions of the NYSC Act and Bye-Law as well as workplace rules and regulations. In keeping with the objectives of the Scheme, you are expected to integrate into your host communities while also appreciating and respecting their cultures. I enjoin you to undertake personal and group community development Service Projects that will help to uplift the living standard of the people. I urge you to avoid using social media for ethnic jingoism, rumour peddling and the promotion of hatred. Instead, your activities online should be targeted at-self-improvement as well as promotion of the unity, peace and prosperity of our dear country. Also avoid being speculative on issues affecting the NYSC and, instead, visit our website, social media platforms and other official channels for clarification.
Ibrahim warned them against unauthorized journeys and night trips.
He promised that the letters of posting to places of Primary Assignment will be handed to them soon after the ceremony.
