NYSC DG warns Corps members against night journeys

The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Ahmed Dogara, has reiterated the scheme’s zero-tolerance policy for protests and indiscipline among serving corps members.

Dogara, who handed down the warning during a working visit to the temporary orientation camp in Kaduna on Monday, noted that in the last three months, several corps members have attempted to protest, resulting in disciplinary actions against them.

He reminded corps members that the scheme’s bylaws clearly outline the consequences of indiscipline, and corps members are expected to adhere to these rules.

The DG also expressed concerns over the safety of corps members, particularly with regard to night journeys, warning that most night journeys are hazardous and have resulted in accidents and kidnappings.

According to him, the scheme has lost several corps members to night journeys, and it is essential to take proactive measures to prevent such incidents, urging corps members to desist from night journeys and prioritize their safety.
