The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has
held back this year’s annual passing out and
winding up ceremony held for outgoing corps
members nationwide to ensure their safety.
Brig.-Gen. Sule Kazaure, the NYSC Director-
General, said this while addressing the 2015
Batch ‘B’ Stream I set of corps members during
their passing out on Thursday at the NYSC
Permanent Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja.
Represented by Mr Adewoye Omotayo, the
NYSC FCT Coordinator, Kazaure said the
management of the scheme also held back the
yearly ceremony due to current economic
challenges facing the country.
“It was a decision made to ensure that all
corps members remain safe. On a day like this
there is usually a lot of movement of corps
members and to prevent any problem from arising we decided to hold back any ceremony.
“The ceremony was also stepped down
nationwide because the 2015 Batch B set of corps members were divided into streams I and
II. We cannot hold double ceremonies for
them just a few weeks apart,” Kazaure said. However, he urged the outgoing corps
members to remain focused on becoming self reliant and self sustaining.
The director-general advised them to put into practice all the skills and entrepreneurship
training they received during their one year of national service.
He also enjoined the corps members to
continue to be good ambassadors of their
homes, institutions and the country.
Besides, Kazaure urged them not to rely on government jobs but strive to utilise the skills

the nearest future.
He reminded the corps members not to think
that their service to the nation had ended,
urging them to go out and affect the society
positively.
According to him, a total of 7,298 corps
members are expected to pass out of the
service year in the 2015 Batch B.
“For now, only the 2015 Batch B stream I is
passing out and they are 4,080. “The rest of
them who are in the 2015 Batch B stream II
will pass out on Nov. 4, 2016. “About 65 of
them will not be passing out due to one reason
or the other. These corps members are likely to
face an extension of their service year.
“One corps member died during the service year
from an auto crash. Some corpers
distinguished themselves by embarking on
developmental projects during the service year;
they will be honoured by the FCT Minister in
November,’’ he said.
The outgoing corps members in the FCT were
asked to assemble at the NYSC Permanent
Orientation Camp to receive their certificates of
national service.
