The DG, who advised the corps members to avoid unauthorised journeys, asked them to obtain approval from the NYSC management if it is compulsory for them to travel.
He admonished the corps members to add value to their host communities by providing projects that would improve the standard of living of the residents.
He advised them to accept their posting in good faith, settle down in their host communities and contribute their quota to national development.
Ibrahim admonished the corps members to put in their best in their places of primary assignment, obey constituted authorities and serve as responsible role models to the younger ones.
The DG spoke with corps members during a visit to the FCT Orientation Camp Kubwa, Abuja, ahead of Tuesday’s winding down of 2021 Batch ‘C’ Stream One Orientation Course.
He warned them against induced posting and rejection, adding that anyone caught would be penalised in line with NYSC bye-laws.
According to him: “Don’t travel at night. If your journey is going beyond 6pm, break the journey and pass the night in military barracks, NYSC Secretariats, Corps Lodges, among other safe places.
“Avoid night parties and don’t put yourself in harm’s way.”
The NYSC boss warned against indulging in social vices such as cybercrime, cultism, drug peddling and abuse, adding that anyone caught would be sanctioned according to the law.
Ibrahim urged the Corps Members to use the social media wisely to promote the unity and integration of the country and not to promote fake news.
