The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC),  Brig.-Gen. Yusha’u Ahmed has commended officials of the Delta State NYSC for initiating and completing a skills acquisition centre at the state orientation camp in Issele-Uku, Delta State.

The NYSC DG, who said the facility would help promote training of corps members and boost their moral well-being,  spoke during the inauguration of the centre.
A statement issued by the scheme and signed by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, disclosed that Ahmed spoke after inaugurating the centre.

“This centre would serve as additional advantage and morale booster in the training of corps members in vocational skills,” he said.
He commended the NYSC Delta State Coordinator, Mr. Alao Olusegun for his determination in completing the one-block of six-rooms project which was conceived by late Mrs. Folake Ndubusi-Johnson, a staff of NYSC Delta State secretariat, who died in 2021.

Speaking earlier, the DG  advised the 2023 Batch ‘C’ Stream members to respect the constituted camp authorities and use the three weeks orientation period to establish long-lasting friendships, and stay away from social vices.

“Respect the culture and traditions of the people you are going to serve. Add value to your communities.
“Avoid the use of hard drugs, cybercrimes and other activities that can put you in danger,” he said.

Ahmed had earlier visited Anambra State Orientation Camp in Umuawulu/Mbaukwu in Awka South Local Government Area of the State, where he admonished  the corps members to embrace the four cardinal programmes of the NYSC.

He listed them as: Orientation Course, Place of Primary Assignment, Community Development Service and Winding-Up/Passing-Out activities.
