Secure Your Future With With Skills, DG NYSC Tells Corps Members
Joel Ajayi
Corps Members have been advised to utilize the opportunities of the service year to acquire skills through the NYSC Entrepreneurship Development programme and become employers of labour instead of searching for the unavailable salaried jobs.
The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General YD Ahmed gave this advise on Monday while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream One Prospective Corps Members deployed to Kwara State during his visit to their Orientation Camp in Yikpata, Edu Local Government Area of the State.
He said most of their predecessors that acquired skills during their service year are now self employed with thriving businesses in different vocations across the country.
The Director General urged the Corps Members to participate actively in all camp activities and cultivate team spirit among themselves.
“We have organised important lectures for you in camp and all of them are very important.
Don’t miss any of the lectures, most especially SAED. This was designed to deliberately make you acquire skills of your choice and become employers of labour thereafter”, the DG said.
General Ahmed also warned the Corps Members against indulging in vices like cultism, drug abuse and hooliganism. He added that anyone caught engaging in any of such act would be prosecuted accordingly.
He urged them to fully dedicate themselves to national service by contributing their quota to the development of their state of deployment.
While presenting the camp situation report, the NYSC Kwara State Coordinator, Mr Onifade Joshua informed the Director General that the State Government has completed the second phase of the perimeter fence of the camp, adding that the third phase will soon commence.
He also lauded Kwara State Government for releasing 1,000 mattresses for camp use alongside other notable interventions.
Onifade stated further that the Corps Members have exhibited high level of discipline since they arrived camp.
As at the time of Director General’s visit, a total of 1,420 Corps Members comprising 695 males and 725 females have been registered.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
