The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has cautioned corps members against participating in political activities as preparations gradually begin ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during an address to the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream I corps members at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos, Nafiu stressed that the scheme remains a neutral institution and must not be dragged into partisan affairs.
The NYSC boss warned participants not to associate themselves with political parties through campaigns, rallies, mobilization efforts or any other political engagements that could compromise the integrity of the scheme.
According to him, corps members are expected to remain focused on the objectives of national service and avoid actions capable of creating the impression that the organisation supports any political interest.
“Do not involve yourselves in the campaigns of any political party. Keep NYSC separate from politics. You must stay away from political matters,”
