The National Youth Service Corps has cautioned Corps members against negative use of social media, urging them to create content that positively reflects both the Scheme and Nigeria.
Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, gave the warning on Friday while addressing the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Corps members at the NYSC Delta State Orientation Camp in Issele-Uku.
According to a statement issued via the NYSC official X handle on Friday, Nafiu said any negative social media posts by Corps members would attract sanctions.
The DG also advised Corps members to avoid unauthorised journeys and to adhere strictly to camp instructions.
“Follow simple instructions, be obedient, go for your biometrics and go for your Community Development Service. Learn and respect the cultural values of your host communities and do not misrepresent us at your place of primary assignment,” he said.
Earlier, the NYSC Delta State Coordinator, Mr John Kwaghe, presented a camp situation report, stating that 2,101 Corps members — 944 male and 1,157 female — had been deployed to the state.
He noted that camp activities were progressing smoothly, with full participation from officials and Corps members, who had demonstrated a high level of discipline.
