The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has urged corps members to make positive use of skills acquired during orientation camp.
He said the skills would help them remain self-employed after their service year.
The NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Nafiu, gave the charge during an official visit to the NYSC permanent orientation camp in Iseyin, Oyo State.
He stressed the importance of vocational and entrepreneurial training.
Brigadier General Nafiu noted that those basic skills can serve as reliable sources of income within and outside Nigeria.
He added that such skills would reduce the struggle of seeking white-collar jobs after service.
Earlier, the Oyo State Coordinator, Mr. Kayode Peters, said corps members had actively participated in camp activities.
Mr Peters also listed some needs of the camp, including the purchase of bunk beds.
Highlights of the visit included the celebration of corps members on their birthdays, cultural displays by different ethnic groups, and a meeting with camp officials.
