The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General YD Ahmed gave this warning while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream Two Corps Members at NYSC Gombe State Orientation Camp in Amada and also their colleagues in Bauchi State Orientation Camp, Wailo.
He however said, if it is compulsory that they should travel, they must obtain approval from the NYSC Management in their States.
General Ahmed added that NYSC Management places high priority on the safety and welfare of its Corps Members nationwide.
He also advised the Corps Members to adhere strictly to the NYSC dress code, adding that improper dressing in the Scheme’s uniform attract sanctions.
“Please remain disciplined throughout the service year. The service year is a year of reflection that you design how you want your future to look like”, General Ahmed said.
The Director General urged the Corps Members not to misuse the social media, but rather use it for social interaction among one another, self empowerment and to also foster national unity and integration.
In her Orientation Camp report to the Director General, the NYSC Gombe State Coordinator, Mrs Chinwe Nnenna Nwachukwu stated that the 1,395 registered Corps Members comprising 729 males and 666 females have displayed high sense of discipline, resilience, loyalty and commitment to all camp activities.

Nentawe Is a Unifier, Not a Fractionalizer
Cyril Ogar
The North Central Youth Coalition for Asiwaju (NCYCA) wishes to address recent misguided comments and actions by certain unscrupulous elements attempting to undermine the National Chairman of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Yiltwalda Nentawe, and destabilize the harmony currently enjoyed within our ranks.
In a statement released on Monday in Abuja and signed by the National Coordinator of NCYCA, Mr. James Iorkusah, the group condemned these detractors and reaffirmed its unwavering support for the leadership of Prof. Nentawe.
According to the NCYCA, some so-called “support groups” — notably the All Progressives Congress Youth Solidarity Network (APC-YSN) — are not recognized by the official APC structure and therefore lack the legitimacy to speak for the Party. The statement described the APC-YSN as a fringe coalition of political opportunists bent on sowing division and confusion within the Party for the selfish interests of their sponsors.
“The public should not take these impostors seriously,” the statement read.
Contrary to the false narratives being peddled, the NCYCA emphasized that Prof. Nentawe’s leadership is anchored on unity, inclusion, and progress. His actions and policies have consistently demonstrated a sincere commitment to bridging internal divides, fostering collaboration, and promoting a shared vision for the future of the APC.
Since assuming office, Prof. Nentawe has worked tirelessly to strengthen internal cohesion, reconcile differing interests, and ensure that every member of the APC feels heard and valued. It is therefore unthinkable for any genuine stakeholder to call for his resignation on the baseless accusation of being a “disrupter.”
As a recognized youth support organization within the North Central region, the NCYCA urges all Party stakeholders to rally behind Prof. Nentawe in his quest to advance unity, inclusivity, and the expansion of the APC membership base — welcoming all Nigerians of goodwill, including Governor Caleb Mutfwang, whose name has been mischievously used by political saboteurs to stoke division.
Under Prof. Nentawe’s leadership, the APC has grown stronger, more participatory, and more representative — providing every member with a voice and an avenue for both personal and community growth.
The NCYCA deeply appreciates Prof. Nentawe’s unwavering dedication to the ideals of the All Progressives Congress and looks forward to continued partnership in building a more united, dynamic, and progressive Party.
