Director-General National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General YD Ahmed, has charged staff and corps members to dedicate themselves to service and humanity.
In a message he personally signed, the NYSC DG said: “I am pleased to use this season of yuletide to felicitate the Christian faithful as they celebrate Christmas which commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ.
“This season is punctuated with sharing love with family members, friends and the underprivileged; and symbolically a time for self renewal, thus, charting a new beginning in your lives as Christian faithful.
“As we reflect on the significance of Christmas, may I use the opportunity to appreciate your individual and collective contributions in driving the ship of this noble Scheme towards achieving its objectives which has significantly added value in all facets of our national development.
“Accordingly, I charge you to rededicate yourselves to the service of our dear country even as you prioritize your personal security in this season.”
He also charged all travellers during the festive period to avoid night journeys and be security conscious.
