The Director General (DG) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig. Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim, on Friday, warned that any corps member caught smoking Indian hemp would be dismissed, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV reports that the NYSC DG gave the warning while addressing Batch ‘B’ Stream II corps members undergoing orientation at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Sagamu, Ogun State.
According to him, anyone caught breaking the rules or abusing drugs and substances, would be handed over to the police and dismissed for good.
Ibrahim said, “Let posterity guide you in every decision and action you take in life.
“You can imagine how much your parents have invested in you so that they could have rest of mind in their old ages knowing full well you are capable of fending for yourself.
“How do you think they will feel if anyone of you is dismissed for bad conduct? Everywhere you go in life they will ask you what happened.
“So, I implore you to always be of good conduct and imbibe the tenets of the scheme for which you were called to serve.
“Unity and discipline, fundamental aspects of your orientation, should guide you throughout the duration of your service,” he said.
Igbere TV reports that the NYSC DG further urged the corps members to take advantage of the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme put in place by the NYSC, saying, “no white collar job exist anywhere.”
