Corps Members have been urged to utilise the opportunity of the three- week Orientation Course to cultivate long-lasting relationship, teamwork and also promote the unity and integration of the country.
NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim gave this advice yesterday during a nationwide virtual address to the 2021 Batch ‘C’ Stream Two Prospective Corps Members and Camp Officials.
He urged the PCMs to take the Orientation Course seriously because of the benefits it offers which include; leadership training, teamwork, tolerance, discipline, entrepreneurship training among others.
The Director-General also advised the Prospective Corps Members to obey the rules and regulations in their respective places of primary assignment when posted, adding that the scheme would not condone any act of indiscipline as every infraction would attract sanctions as stipulated in the NYSC bye-laws.
The Director-General enjoined the PCMs to provide the needs of their host communities by initiating projects that would positively improve their standard of living.
He warned against borrowing money to execute projects, but advised that they source for funds from within the community.
