Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, has charged the 2,896 corps members at the NYSC Kaduna State Temporary Orientation Camp in Kurmi Mashi, Kaduna, to live within their means, cultivate savings, and resist the temptation of flamboyant lifestyles.

Addressing the corps members directly, Nafiu urged them to take full advantage of the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme, stressing that participation would position them for self employment and enable them to create jobs for others upon completion of their service year.

He informed the corps members that the scheme had secured partnerships with stakeholders willing to support them through low interest loans, business grants, and starter packs.

"Don't waste your time because time is precious. Do something with your time. Be diligent during your post camp SAED training," Nafiu stated, encouraging them to start small and build their business investments gradually.

Kaduna State NYSC Coordinator Mrs Efeke Murna Dadaza, in her camp situation report presented to the director general, confirmed that the 2,896 corps members registered at the camp comprised 2,198 posted to Kaduna State and 698 dislodged from the Federal Capital Territory.

She noted that all corps members had adjusted to the regimented camp environment and were actively participating in camp activities.
