The Bauchi State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Mrs. Rifkatu Yakubu, has advised female Corps members to return home to their parents after completing their service.
Yakubu made the call on Thursday in Bauchi during the distribution of National Service certificates to Corps members.
Addressing specifically the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream ll female Corps members, the coordinator said, “Ladies, please remember that your boyfriends are not your parents. Do not say that after collecting your certificates, you are heading to your boyfriends’ houses.
“Go back home to your parents and celebrate with them. You have just completed your national service, and this is a moment to share with your family.”
She also urged Corps members to put their skills to good use, particularly those acquired through the NYSC’s Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development, SAED, program.
“Even if you haven’t learned anything from the SAED program, it’s not too late. Instead of going home to sit idle, find something to do to support your parents. Use this last allowance wisely; invest in learning a trade,” she said.
Yakubu warned Corps members against engaging in fraudulent activities such as internet fraud, kidnapping, or ritual killings in pursuit of quick wealth, tasking them to carefully check their National Service certificates for errors before laminating them.
A total of 1,652 Corps members passed out in Bauchi State, comprising 1,118 males and 534 females.
