Brigadier General Mohammed Fadah, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, has warned corps members against getting involved in local politics.
The DG gave this warning while addressing the Gombe State batch B stream II corps members during the orientation camp closing ceremony held at Amada, Akko Local Government Area.
Fadah, represented by the State Coordinator, Ada Imoni, advised them to divert their energy into the Community Development Service, rather than getting involved in elections.
He noted that those who do not abide by the bye-laws will be sanctioned.
The NYSC boss disclosed that regarding the culture of the communities they have been posted to in the state is the fastest way to unite with their host.
“Your letters of posting to Places of Primary Assignment will be handed to you soon after this ceremony. In this regard, I would 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-Laws 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 must, however, emphasise that engagement in their local politics is a no-go-area for you. Furthermore, I enjoin you to undertake personal and group Community Development,” he said.
Fadah further enjoined the corps members to avoid using social media platforms to share fake news, advising them to visit the NYSC website for necessary information.
On the issue of accidents and insecurity, the DG encouraged the corp members to seek permission before travelling and avoid night journeys.
