The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has urged corps members nationwide to shun excessive spending and focus on building a financially secure future.
Nafiu gave the advice during a visit to corps members at the NYSC Kaduna State Temporary Orientation Camp in Kurmi-Mashi, Kaduna, according to a statement shared on the scheme’s official X account on Wednesday.
Addressing the participants, the NYSC boss encouraged them to live within their means, develop a strong saving culture, and avoid lifestyles that exceed their financial capacity.
He also called on them to take full advantage of the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme, noting that it is designed to equip young Nigerians with practical skills for self-reliance after service.
“Use your time wisely because it is valuable. Stay committed to your post-camp SAED training,” he advised.
Nafiu added that the programme could also enable corps members to become job creators in the future.
He further revealed that the NYSC has partnered with various stakeholders to provide access to low-interest loans, grants, and starter packs to support corps members in launching small businesses.
He advised them to begin on a modest scale and gradually expand their ventures over time.
The visit also featured a briefing by the Kaduna State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Efeke Dadaza, who presented an update on camp activities.
She disclosed that 2,896 corps members had been registered at the orientation camp, including 2,198 posted directly to Kaduna State and 698 redeployed from the Federal Capital Territory.
