Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has warned corps members that will be participating in the polls to be wary of antics of politicians that would come to deceive and lead them into wrongdoings.
Chairman, National Governing Board of NYSC, Ambassador Fatima Abubakar, gave the warning during a special visit to the Ondo State NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Ikare Akoko, in Ondo state.
Ambassador Abubakar said that the NYSC was particularly interested in the safety of the corps members before , during and after the elections.
The Chairman noted that all corps members on election duties must perform diligently well and avoid controversies so that nobody would report or have anything incriminating to say against them.
She noted that the NYSC had on its board, representatives of Chief of Army Staff and Inspector General of Police whose duties were to coordinate the safety of corps members all the times, including during election periods.
She noted that the body could not afford that people’s children were thrown into the election field without any plan of protecting them.
Earlier, the Ondo State Coordinator of NYSC, Mrs Victoria Ani, who informed Abubakar about progress and challenges faced in the course of developing the orientation camp appreciated the state government for the support so far.
