“Choose either personal or group Community Development Service project and initiate projects that would impact positively on the lives of your hosts.
“Also try to add value to yourselves by learning a skill through the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme and become job creators at the end of your service year”, the DG said.
General Ahmed also warned the corps members against improper dressing, especially while in NYSC uniform, adding that anyone caught violating the Scheme’s approved dress code would be sanctioned.
