       The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has held back this
       year’s annual passing out and winding up ceremony held for
       outgoing corps members nationwide to ensure their safety.
       Sule Kazaure, the NYSC Director-General, said this while
       addressing the 2015 Batch ‘B’ Stream I set of corps members
       during their passing out on Thursday at the NYSC Permanent
       Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja.
       Represented by Adewoye Omotayo, the NYSC FCT Coordinator, Mr.
       Kazaure said the management of the scheme also held back the
       yearly ceremony due to current economic challenges facing the
       country.
       “It was a decision made to ensure that all corps members remain
       safe. On a day like this there is usually a lot of movement of
       corps members and to prevent any problem from arising we decided
       to hold back any ceremony.
       “The ceremony was also stepped down nationwide because the 2015
       Batch B set of corps members were divided into streams I and II.
       We cannot hold double ceremonies for them just a few weeks
       apart,” Mr. Kazaure, a Brigadier General, said.
       However, he urged the outgoing corps members to remain focused
       on becoming self reliant and self sustaining.
       The director-general advised them to put into practice all the
       skills and entrepreneurship training they received during their
       one year of national service.
       He also enjoined the corps members to continue to be good
       ambassadors of their homes, institutions and the country.
       Mr. Kazaure urged them not to rely on government jobs but strive
       to utilise the skills they learnt and become employers of labour
       in the nearest future.
