NYSC Issues Warning To Corps Members Against Night Travel

It has been recommended that National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members should avoid nighttime travel.

The director of the NYSC’s North Area Office, Kehinde Aremu-Cole, said to the corps members undergoing orientation at the camp for 2023 Batch ‘C’ Stream 2, “The most disheartening experience parents could ever imagine is losing one child to the cold hand of an automobile accident while on national service due to an unnecessary night journey.”

While visiting the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Yikpata, which is situated in the Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State, he gave this advise on Friday.

He urged corps members to resist any form of temptation and situation that would make them want to embark on a night journey.

Assuring the corps members that their posting should be accepted in good faith, the NYSC boss clarified that the goal of their service to their country is to make the greatest possible effect on their diverse host communities.

Aremu-Cole encouraged the corps members to approach him for any help they needed in pursuing the goals of the country since he was passionate about community development, youth empowerment, and human capital development.
