“Go home to your parents not your boyfriends” – NYSC Coordinator tells female corps members after receipt certificates
The Bauchi State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has advised corps members to return back to their parents after receiving their certificates.
The Coordinator of the National Youth Service corps (NYSC), Mrs Yakubu gave this advise while giving out certificates to corps members who completed the one year mandatory service, on Thursday, March 27, 2025.
While addressing the gathering, he said;
“Ladies, please remember that your boyfriends are not your parents. Do not say that after collecting your certificates, you are heading to your boyfriends’ houses.
“Go back home to your parents and celebrate with them. You have just completed your national service, and this is a moment to share with your family.”
She further advised the corp members to put their skills acquired during service to use especially those who acquired NYSC’s Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.
“Even if you haven’t learnt anything from the SAED programme, it’s not too late. Instead of going home to sit idle, find something to do to support your parents. Use this last allowance wisely; invest in learning a trade,” she said.
