The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu, has charged camp officials to ensure that corps members are adequately moulded to integrate effectively into their host communities.
Nafiu gave the charge in Jos during the 2026 Batch ‘A’ pre-orientation course workshop for stakeholders, members of the NYSC top management, state coordinators, camp officials and other partners.
“The forthcoming orientation course is an exercise designed to mould our prospective corps members into disciplined patriots, socially responsible citizens, and committed partners in nation-building.
““We are all aware that the orientation course constitutes the bedrock of the entire NYSC service year. It is where service begins, character is forged, and citizenship is affirmed.
“As such, it must continuously evolve to reflect national realities, global best practices, and the changing dynamics of youth behaviour.
“The orientation course must be reimagined to ensure relevance, quality, and measurable outcomes that enable corps members to integrate seamlessly into host communities and transition to productive, impactful lives beyond national service,” he said.
