Avoid Night Traveling To Camp, Acting DG Warns Prospective Corps Members
Press Statement
Prospective Corps Members deployed for the 2022 Batch ‘C’ Stream Two Orientation Course have been warned not to embark on night journey to their Orientation Camps.
The Acting Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Mrs Christy Uba, gave the warning during her visit to NYSC FCT Orientation Camp in Kubwa, Abuja.
Uba was at the camp to monitor the registration exercise of the Prospective Corps Members deployed to the Federal Capital Territory for their one year national service.
She advised them to pass the night at NYSC State Secretariats, military barracks, police stations and other safe places, if their journey is going beyond 6pm in the evening, and continue the following day instead of endangering their lives.
The Acting DG also urged the Prospective Corps Members to be security conscious and avoid free rides from strangers.
“All is set and we are ready for the Orientation Exercise. Prospective Corps Members must not travel at night. They should be security conscious and board vehicles at designated motorparks”, Uba said.
While interacting with camp officials, the Acting Director General charged them to support the NYSC FCT Coordinator for the overall success of the Orientation Course.
She added that all hands must be on deck to ensure that the aim of the Orientation Course, which is to instill discipline in the Corps Members is achieved.

Tinubu, PDP Hail Gov Okpebholo’s Road Infrastructural Revolution in Edo
Joel Ajayi
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the infrastructural strides of Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, particularly the ongoing construction of the state’s first-ever flyover bridge, describing it as a landmark intervention in easing urban traffic and modernizing Edo’s transport system.
The President extolled the governor’s foresight in embarking on the one-kilometre flyover project at Ikpoba Hill in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, noting that its completion would transform vehicular movement and strengthen the urban fabric of Benin City.
Tinubu praised Okpebholo’s early performance in office, affirming that the governor had set a new standard of governance in Edo.
The president represented by the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, emphasized that the governor’s bold approach to road and bridge construction in the State underscores the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) progressive agenda.
“This is a 24-span structure, each span measuring 20 meters, amounting to a one-kilometre bridge. The quality and pace of work are impressive. Edo is witnessing a first, and I believe more such projects should follow in Benin City to address the heavy traffic,” Umahi conveyed on behalf of the President.
The Minister contrasted the efficiency of state-driven projects with some federal contracts, lamenting that contractors often display greater discipline when working under governors than when handling federal assignments.
He pledged to enforce stricter accountability standards at the federal level to ensure value for money and timely delivery.
“I commend Governor Okpebholo for insisting on concrete technology. Roads built with reinforced concrete last 50 to 100 years, saving scarce resources. Nigeria cannot continue to spend on recurring reconstruction. We must invest in durability,” Umahi stressed.
