The NYSC DG further appealed all corps members to try as much as possible to acquire necessary skills to couple with their various certificates so as to make them employers instead of seeking for the scarcely available salaried jobs.
Corps members were also warned to desist from embarking on night and unauthorised journeys, but break any journey extending beyond 6:00pm and pass the night in a secured place.
“We have NYSC Corps Lodges, Secretariats and Army barracks, find out where they are and make sure you pass the night there for journeys that will take you beyond six to get to your destination,” Brig Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim said.
