Corps Members have been advised to utilize the opportunities of their three weeks Orientation Course to foster national unity and integration among themselves irrespective of tribal and religious differences.
The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General YD Ahmed gave the advice today in his address to the 2023 Batch ‘C’ Stream One Corps Members undergoing Orientation at Kaduna State Temporary Orientation Camp at Government College, Kurmi Mashi, and Kaduna.
He urged them to accept their deployment to Kaduna State in good faith, make friends during and after the Orientation Course and also respect the diverse cultures of residents of the State.
General Ahmed warned the Corps Members against night travelling while he also appealed to them to be security conscious at all times.
“Don’t travel at night and wherever you are posted to, try and be security conscious.

Speaking further, General Ahmed admonished them to acquire skills through the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development in-camp training programme and make themselves employers of labour.
While giving the camp situation report, the NYSC Kaduna State Coordinator, Mr Hassan Taura said the Corps Members comprising 655 females and 766 males have all exhibited high sense of discipline since the commencement of the Orientation Exercise.

CLTC DG Reaffirms FG’s Dedication to Nurturing Innovative, Productive Nigerian Youth
By Joel Ajayi
The Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC), Ms. Rinsola Abiola, has reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to raising young Nigerians who are productive, innovative, and imbued with patriotism, service, and integrity.
She gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja in her goodwill message at the ongoing two-day Retreat on Presidential Priorities and Deliverables — 2025 Mid-Term Review, where she also commended the Ministry of Youth Development, led by Hon. Ayodele Olawande, for championing youth-focused initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Abiola, the retreat provides a unique opportunity to review and realign efforts to ensure that government policies and programmes translate into measurable impact in the lives of Nigerian youths.
“This retreat is both timely and strategic. It provides a platform to collectively review, align, and sharpen our focus on the priorities of Mr. President. More importantly, it allows us to deepen collaboration within the youth development sector to ensure that government policies deliver real change to our young people,” she said.
Highlighting the Centre’s achievements, Abiola disclosed that over 6,000 youths have been trained in value orientation and re-orientation in the just-concluded half-year period. She emphasized that the CLTC, with its long history of building citizenship values, leadership capacity, discipline, and volunteerism, remains steadfast in supporting the Ministry’s mandate and national priorities.
“We see ourselves as partners in this great task of nation-building. Our goal is to raise young Nigerians who are not only productive and innovative but also committed to the spirit of service, patriotism, and integrity,” she added.
Abiola urged stakeholders and participants at the retreat to bring forward actionable strategies that would strengthen coordination, eliminate bottlenecks, and accelerate delivery on presidential mandates.
She concluded by reaffirming CLTC’s readiness to collaborate with the Ministry and other agencies to advance youth development across Nigeria.
