of Allegiance to the country which they swore to.
He counseled them to embrace Skills Acquisition
and Entrepreneurship Development of the NYSC
Scheme to empower themselves.
'Identity you talents and harness it. Use the
social Media positively, be decent and respect
your dignity as graduates. Dont get involved in
fraud, prostitution and any form of cybercrime'.
'Dont endanger your safety. Your movement
outside the state must be approved by the State
Coordinator and do not go outside your place of
abode to worship'.
'Your parents are looking up to you to take care
of them in their old age and we don't want to lose
any of you. Please let your colleagues know your
movement', the Director-General appealed.

inspected Corps Members hostels, camp clinic,
kitchen and other facilities.
