GENERAL NAFIU COUNSELS CORPS MEMBERS ON SAVINGS, INVESTMENT, PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE

 

The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu has advised Corps Members to be prudent in their spendings and also cultivate the habit of savings for future use.

He gave this advise while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Corps Members at NYSC Kogi State Orientation Camp in Asaya, likewise their colleagues at Kwara State Orientation Camp in Yikpata.

He also appealed to them to live peacefully with their colleagues, members of their host communities and also respect other people’s opinions in order to have a fruitful service year.

He urged them to make friends among themselves adding that, their ability to accommodate divergent opinions is a sign of maturity.

The Director General also appealed to the Corps Members to respect the cultures and traditions of the various communities they would be posted to, after the Orientation Exercise.

“Try and save for future use. Savings leads to investments and whatever you save today becomes a gift to you tomorrow.

Respect and appreciate what your hosts are doing that is different from your communities so that you can learn from them.

Ensure that you contribute to the development of your host communities, so that your legacies would remain with them after the service year”, the DG said.

General Nafiu also admonished the Corps Members to be attentive to all the lectures that would be delivered in camp because they would serve as good reference points throughout the service year.
