He said:
“You must remain conversant with the electoral laws with a view to participating effectively at the elections. As you are all aware, during the 2023 general elections in which all of you would participate, when the time comes, play according to the rules of the game. Be conversant with the electoral laws and be patriotic.”
He assured them that the NYSC authorities have placed a high premium on their safety.
General Fadah further implored corps members to ensure that they embrace one of the vocations being taught at the orientation camp for life after service.
This was because the vocation could serve as something they could fall back on after their service year.
The Katsina State NYSC Coordinator, Hajiya Aisha Muhammad had earlier told the visiting DG that 1,032 corps members had registered at the camp for the orientation.
She added that the figures were made up of 562 males and 470 females.
