The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has lauded both past and present participants of the scheme for upholding its values through exemplary conduct and impactful community service.

The commendation came in a statement by the NYSC management following a dinner organized in Abuja to celebrate selected members who excelled in their Community Development Service (CDS) during their service year.
The NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed, described the honorees as “NYSC ambassadors” whose contributions have continued to sustain the relevance of the scheme.
He particularly praised members of the NYSC Anti-Corruption Community Development group for their role in promoting the fight against corruption and other societal vices.

“Your dedication to honesty, transparency, and good neighbourliness remains a model for all Nigerians,” Brig. Gen. Ahmed said.
“Nigeria can only achieve greatness when its youth contribute their quota to nation-building by promoting hard work, resilience, and honesty.”
One of the awardees, Olanrewaju John Shola, who served during Batch ‘B’ 2008 in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, expressed gratitude to the NYSC management for recognizing their efforts years after their service.

“Receiving this recognition inspires us to continue upholding the ideals of the NYSC in our various fields of endeavour,” Olanrewaju said.
The NYSC statement highlighted Olanrewaju’s outstanding performance as an honorary member of the Anti-Corruption Community Development group, a role undertaken in collaboration with the Presidency’s Code of Conduct Bureau.
“His exemplary service earned him the Certificate of Merit and an award for his efforts in combating corruption and promoting good governance during his service year.”

The NYSC management reiterated its commitment to fostering integrity and nation-building among Nigeria’s youth through the CDS initiatives, urging all participants to reflect the core values of the scheme in their daily lives.
