NYSC Coordinator advises female corps members to return home after service
The Bauchi coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mrs. Rifkatu Yakubu, has urged female corps members to return to their parents after completing their service instead of heading to their boyfriends’ homes.
Speaking on Thursday in Bauchi during the distribution of National Service certificates to the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream II corps members, Yakubu emphasized the importance of celebrating the achievement with family.
“Ladies, please remember that your boyfriends are not your parents,” she said. “After collecting your certificates, go back home and celebrate with your family.”
She also encouraged corps members to make use of the skills acquired through the NYSC’s Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.
“Even if you haven’t learned much from SAED, it’s not too late. Instead of sitting idle at home, find something productive to do.
Use your final allowance wisely—invest in learning a trade,” she advised.
Yakubu further cautioned against engaging in fraudulent activities such as internet fraud, kidnapping, or ritual killings in the pursuit of quick wealth.
“These are not the values NYSC has instilled in you.
Represent your family well and be a good ambassador for Nigeria, your institution, and the NYSC,” she added.
She also advised corps members to carefully check their National Service certificates for errors before laminating them.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), a total of 1,652 corps members completed their service in Bauchi State, including 1,118 males and 534 females.
