As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to celebrate Christmas, the Director General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed has charged Corps Members to rededicate themselves to the service of the country.

He also charged them to prioritise their personal security, especially during the Yuletide, even as he advised them not to embark on night journeys due to the risks associated with it.

In his Christmas message to staff and Corps Members, the NYSC DG said: “This season is punctuated with sharing love with family members, friends and the underprivileged; and symbolically a time for self renewal, thus, charting a new beginning in your lives as Christian faithfuls.

“As we reflect on the significance of Christmas, may I use the opportunity to appreciate your individual and collective contributions in driving the ship of this noble Scheme towards achieving its objectives which has significantly added value in all facets of our national development.

“Together, with other patriotic Nigerians, we shall continue to build a strong, united and prosperous nation”.
