Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu, the Bauchi State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has called on the 2024 Batch ‘A’ stream II female corps members to go home to their parents and not to their boyfriends’ houses after passing out.
The state Coordinator made the call in Bauchi on Thursday, during the distribution of certificates of National Service to the corps members.
“Please, ladies, your boyfriends are not your parents and don't say that after collecting your certificates, you are going to your boyfriends’ houses.
“Go back home to your parents and celebrate with them as you have just passed out from the National Service.
“I also want to advise you all that even if you have not learned anything from the Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme, it is not too late to learn.
“Instead of you going home and sitting idle, get something to do in order to assist your parents and with this last allowance, please do well and start learning a trade,” she advised.
Yakubu further implored them not to indulge in yahoo yahoo, kidnapping or ritual killings because they wanted to make money.
These, she said, were not parts of what the NYSC had trained them on, saying “you have come and you have served for you to be responsible children in the society.
“Please, represent your family well, be a good ambassador of Nigeria, your institutions of graduation and the NYSC.
The state Coordinator also advised the corps members not to be in a rush to laminate their certificates of National Service after collection, but must ensure that all the names were spelt correctly and no mistakes whatsoever.
A total of 1,652 corps members comprising 1,118 males and 534 females passed out in the state.
