National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving in Bauchi state particularly, female Corps members have been urged to return home to their parents after completing their service.
On Thursday, Mrs. Rifkatu Yakubu, Bauchi State Coordinator of the scheme, called during the distribution of National Service certificates to corps members who completed the one-year mandatory service.
The coordinator addressed the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream 11 female corps members.
She 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.”
Mrs. Yakubu also encouraged corps members who acquired skills through the NYSC’s Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) program to put their skills to good use.
“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.
She also cautioned them against engaging in fraudulent activities such as internet fraud (Yahoo Yahoo), kidnapping, or ritual killings in pursuit of quick wealth.
“These are not the values NYSC has instilled in you. You have served to become responsible members of society.
“Represent your family well, be a good ambassador of Nigeria, your institution, and the NYSC,” she said.
A total of 1,652 corps members passed out in Bauchi State, comprising 1,118 males and 534 females.
