He urged corps members to safeguard their certificates of national service and protect the integrity of the scheme.

Kubiangha said: “I want to caution corps members against partisan political activities and statements capable of exposing them to danger ahead of the forthcoming elections in Osun State.

“I urged you to remain security conscious, law-abiding and focused on self-development and economic independence.”

The NYSC coordinator described the scheme as a platform for personal growth and national development while urging corps members to uphold the values of discipline, patriotism, and integrity imbibed during service.
