 Now, as the Batch see, stream 2 core members are still basking in the euphoria of their orientation experience. The acting director general of the National Youth Service Corps, Kristi Uba, has charged core members on patriotism and their contribution to socio-economic development. She said that the scheme brings about unifying the nation. She made us know during her visits to the NYSC Lagos Orientation Camp in Iyanokpaja on a familiarization tour. Our correspondent, Destiny Momor, has more. Replacing the cap move made by the core members in salutation of the director general shows how impressed these core members are in celebrating the director general's visit. Acting director general of the National Youth Service Corps, Mrs. Kristi Uba spoke on the unifying force of the scheme and its socio-economic contribution on national development. What gives me joy is that they are always eager, they are always eager to participate. And when we gather them, we could see that one of the primary objectives of the scheme which is national unity and integration is being achieved. They mingle with one another and they are always ready as the staff are working tirelessly to make sure that they put them through the orientation course programs. They are always ready to participate and this shows that there is hope for this country, that these young boys and girls, when we are able to bring them together and guide them, particularly in various activities, they have done a lot. They have done a lot. This is a scheme that is almost 50 years in existence and there is a revered scheme, you know, various agencies that were established almost the same time. Many of them have gone money-bound but NYC is still existing. She also encouraged school members to be patriotic and apolitical as they will be active during the election period. Advice to them is that they should be neutral and apolitical. They should also participate in the sensitization and training programs that is usually put in place so that they understand what is expected of them. Because when you understand what you have to do, nobody can push you around. The knowledge is very, very necessary. They cannot just go into a program with ignorance. So the training and sensitization, they must participate and they should also note that it is voluntary. Nobody is forcing them and for the politicians want to appeal to them that these young boys and girls are their children. Whatever they will not like to happen to their own children, they should not allow it to happen to these core members. They should protect them. They should put them first before their own personal interests. There are over 2,000 batches streamed to core members in the orientation camp presently as they will be passing out on the 20th of December after their three-weeks compulsory orientation exercise. That's Tony Marmel plus TV News.
