The DG commended the 2,762 Batch 'B' Stream I corps members undergoing the three-week orientation course and encouraged them to embrace the discipline and collectivism fostered by the camp's regimented nature.

He also warned corps members against posting unauthorized pictures of camp activities on social media, citing that three members had already been decamped for violating this rule.

The NYSC Director-General, Brigadier-General Ahmed, warned corps members against taking unauthorized trips or journeys during their service year. He emphasized that the Scheme's priority is to ensure the safe return of all corps members to their homes and families at the end of their service.

Since the removal of the fuel subsidy, President Tinubu's government and organised labour have been negotiating for a new minimum wage. However, government, labour and the organised private sector are yet to reach an agreement on what the minimum wage should be.
