Nysc coordinator advises corps members to resist being used by politicians

A timely and important message!

According to a report, the Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Ogun State, Mrs. Victoria Okakwu, has advised corps members to be cautious and not allow themselves to be used by politicians for their personal gains.

Mrs. Okakwu made this statement during a sensitization program organized by the NYSC for corps members in the state. She emphasized that the scheme is not a platform for politicians to exploit corps members for their political interests.

She warned corps members to be vigilant and not to compromise their integrity by engaging in activities that could tarnish the image of the NYSC or compromise their values. She also advised them to focus on their primary assignment, which is to serve their fatherland and develop their skills and capacities.

Mrs. Okakwu's advice is timely and relevant, considering the current political climate in Nigeria. Many corps members have been known to be exploited by politicians, who use them to achieve their political goals without regard for their well-being or the integrity of the NYSC.

It is essential for corps members to be aware of their rights and responsibilities and to resist any attempts by politicians to use them for their personal gains. The NYSC should also continue to provide guidance and support to corps members to ensure that they are able to fulfill their duties without being exploited.

In conclusion, Mrs. Okakwu's advice is a reminder to corps members to stay focused and committed to their duties, and to resist any attempts by politicians to use them for their personal gains.
