He urged corps members to respond positively to the call to national service, warning that acts of evasion and indiscipline undermine the objectives of the programme. “The clarion call is for you to put in your quota to national development and not to be evasive during service,” Kubiangha stated. The coordinator emphasised the need for professionalism among corps members, including proper dressing in the approved NYSC uniform and respect for constituted authority at all times. He warned against “unauthorised travel, lending of NYSC uniforms to unauthorised persons and failure to participate in the mandatory monthly clearance exercise.” According to him, “such infractions could attract disciplinary measures, including possible extension of the service year”. Kubiangha also charged the corps members to make meaningful and measurable impact at their Places of Primary Assignment in line with the core objectives of the scheme. Also speaking at the event, the Osogbo Zonal Inspector, Dolapo Stephen, urged corps members to strictly adhere to the rules and regulations guiding the NYSC. He noted that the scheme operates within a clearly defined legal and administrative framework.
