The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General YD Ahmed, on Wednesday, November 15, in Katsina NYSC camp, rolled out dress codes for serving youth corps members.

General Ahmed gave the warning while addressing the 2023 Batch C Stream 1 members deployed to Katsina, who were on their orientation course, further charged them to always dress appropriately in their NYSC kits to avoid embarrassment
He said: “I have mandated all the Staff of NYSC to watch and monitor the Corps members anywhere they go and anyone who failed to use the kits appropriately should be made to surrender the uniform’. Also, you must desist from posting anything on camp activities on social media.’’
The NYSC DG also reminded the Corps members to key into the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED), to ensure they can secure their future in the face of youth unemployment in the country
He, however, told them to approach the service year with the spirit of patriotism, loyalty, and commitment by putting Nigeria first before all other things
