NYSC DG warns corps members to shun ‘get-rich quick’ syndrome

Members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have been advised to shun the get-rich-quick syndrome, and seek lawful means of livelihood.

In a statement signed by the Director, Public Relations Department of the corps, Mrs Abosede Aderigbibe, the DirectorGeneral, Brigadier General Sulaiman Kazaure, gave the advice while addressing Corps members at the NYSC permanent orientation camp in Ebonyi State and the Cross River State temporary orientation camp, College of Education, Akamkpa.

He warned the youths against cybercrimes and other fraudulent activities.

“I want you to know that there is no shortcut to success. So, work hard and the sky will be your limit. Whatever you are doing, make the fear of God and honesty your watchwords,” he said.

Kazaure urged them to respect constituted authorities, and always be civil in their approach whenever accosted by security agencies.

The Director-General also enjoined the Corps members to take advantage of the opportunities for self-employment offered through the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development Programme.

Earlier, the NYSC Ebonyi State Coordinator, Mrs. Regina Iluebbey, identified the wear and tear on structures as one of the major challenges at the camp and expressed hope of the state government’s intervention.
