Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has advised all corps members passing out of the service year in the country not to lose hope despite economic challenges.<\/p>\n

The Director General of NYSC, Brig:-Gen Olakunle Nafiu, gave the advice in Bauchi during the distribution of certificates of national service to the 2024 Batch B stream 1 corps members passing out of the scheme.<\/p>\n

Represented by the Bauchi State Coordinator of the scheme, Kufre Umoren, the DG said that Nigeria is a country filled with opportunities that when effectively tapped into, could turn things around for better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to encourage you, despite the harsh economic conditions, don\u2019t lose hope in your country. You can still turn the situation around because Nigeria is a land of opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you travel around the country, you will realize that there is no part of the country that does not have mineral resources or one form of economic advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t give up, I have trust in your strength because the Nigerian youth are resilient, strong, hard working and ingenious.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a time for you to go back to your parents and start eating their food again. It\u2019s a time for you to think of how you can provide for and support them,\u201d said the DG.<\/p>\n

According to him, this is a moment for the corps members to start making critical decisions that would shape their futures and plan ahead of their next phase of life.<\/p>\n

A total of 1054 corps members, including 584 males and 467 females, were given their certificates of national service in Bauchi State.<\/p>\n
