Fadah further cautioned the Corps members against the use of social media for negativity and sharing of unverified information. He also warned them against night journeys, indulging in cultism and corruption especially as the 2023 general elections draw closer.
While urging the youth corps members to take their own personal security seriously despite all the arrangements made for the camp, Fadah also advised them to take seriously the skills acquisition programme as the era of white-collar jobs, is gone.
The Katsina State coordinator of the scheme, Aisha Muhammed informed the NYSC DG that all is going well in the camp especially the health of the corps members as, no major illness has been recorded so far, except for Malaria and general weaknesses in the body due to the change in weather condition.
