The Director-General, National Youths Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, on Tuesday, has warned corps members to refrain from unnecessary or unauthorised travelling.
Kazaure gave the advice while speaking at a facility tour at the temporary orientation camp at Kaiama, Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa.
While inspecting the safety of Corp members at the facility, The Director-General who was represented by
the NYSC Director, Audit, Mr Adeleke Abiodun, had died in auto crash in journeys which they embarked upon without permit during their service year.
Kazaure further stressed that obtaining proper permission would do the corps members more good before travelling out of their duty post.
“Before embarking on any journey while in camp or places of your primary assignment, NYSC members should obtain permission because there are sanctions for not doing so.
“Members should only travel when it is necessary and approved; my visit to the camp here in Bayelsa is to see the condition of corps members.
“I am assuring corps members, not only in Bayelsa but across the country, that the management of the scheme and state governments are fully committed to their welfare.”
Also bringing them abreast their community differences, the NYSC boss urged them to respect the religions and cultures of their host communities, saying “I also believe that you have been taught on the ways of life, custom and values of your host state.

“I urge you to respect them, be security conscious and don’t just pack your bag and start to travel up and down.
“Find a way to contribute your quota to building a better Nigeria; always pay attention to the skill acquisition programmes in camp and ensure that your life after service is better.”
The NYSC Coordinator in the state, Mrs Loto Bolade, commended the director-general for the visit, adding that corps members were dedicated to serving their fatherland.
