Joel Ajayi
The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General YD Ahmed has warned Corps Members to avoid every form of misconduct that may lead them into trouble during their service year.
He added that violators of NYSC byelaws and other laws of the country would be sanctioned appropriately.
The Director General stated this in his address to Corps Members during his visit to NYSC Kano State Orientation Camp in Kusallah Dam Karaye and Katsina State Orientation Camp.
While congratulating them on the successful completion of their courses of study, he added that improper dressing in NYSC uniforms attracts sanctions.
“You must always dress well, especially while in NYSC uniforms. Wherever you are posted to, ensure that you respect the culture and traditions of the people you are going to serve.
NYSC would not condone any form of indiscipline. Avoid hard drugs, hooliganism, cybercrimes and other social vices that may put you in trouble. Utilize the service year to develop yourselves”, the DG said.
While presenting the camp situation report to the Director General, the NYSC Kano State Coordinator, Hajiya Halima Abdulkareem Abubakar said the Corps Members have all exhibited high level of honesty, dedication to duty and unalloyed loyalty to the Scheme.
As at the time of General Ahmed’s visit, a total of 1,734 Corps Members consisting of 871 males and 863 females were registered in Kano camp.
Similarly, the Katsina State Coordinator, Hajiya Aisha Mohammed stated that a total of 348 camp officials made up of 167 NYSC Staff and 181 from other collaborating agencies including 1,292 Corps Members comprising 686 males and 606 females are working in synergy towards achieving the desired results of the Orientation Exercise.
“The Corps Members are in high spirits and ready to contribute their quota to national development”, she said.

Pakistan Accuses India of Provocation, Condemns Missile Strike and Drone Incursions
Joel Ajayi
The High Commissioner of Pakistan to Nigeria, Rt. Maj.-Gen. Sohail Khan, has strongly condemned the Indian missile attack on the night of May 7, which struck nine locations across Pakistan, resulting in the deaths of 37 civilians, including women and children.
In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, the High Commission described India’s allegations as baseless, devoid of truth, and filled with propaganda.
High Commissioner emphasized that Pakistan’s commitment to peace should not be misconstrued as a sign of weakness.
According to the statement, the High Commission categorically rejected the “irresponsible and unfounded” accusations propagated by Indian media, which claimed that Pakistan was responsible for attacks on Pathankot, Jaisalmer, and Srinagar.
“The statement labeled these claims as politically motivated and part of a reckless propaganda campaign aimed at maligning Pakistan.”
It further stated that the repeated pattern of making accusations against Pakistan without credible investigation reflects a deliberate strategy to manufacture a pretext for aggression and destabilize the region. Such behavior, the Commission warned, not only threatens regional peace but also exposes a troubling tendency to exploit misinformation for political and military gains.
“We urge the international community to take serious note of this dangerous behavior and to advise India to act with restraint and responsibility,” the statement read.
It concluded by affirming that “any escalation based on false pretenses will be met with full resolve and determination to safeguard Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” The Commission reiterated that while Pakistan remains vigilant and committed to peace, it will not be provoked, intimidated, or misled, and reserves the right to respond to any acts of aggression. The allegations were rejected in the strongest possible terms.
It is worth recalling that on Thursday, India accused Pakistan of launching drone and missile attacks on three military bases in Indian territory and Indian-administered Kashmir—an allegation Islamabad promptly denied.
Meanwhile, Pakistan claimed it had shot down 25 Indian drones in recent hours, while New Delhi has remained publicly silent on the matter
