The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig.-Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, has warned corps members against participating in partisan politics as preparations gradually begin for the 2027 general elections.
Nafiu gave the warning on Tuesday during a town hall meeting with 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream I corps members at the temporary NYSC orientation camp in Amada, Akko Local Government Area of Gombe State.
He stressed that the credibility the NYSC has built over the years is rooted in its political neutrality and cautioned corps members against any action capable of portraying the scheme as aligned with any political party.
“And since 1999, we have continued to strengthen our democratic process season after season. We are going into another electioneering season, and campaigns will soon begin. Don’t go to campaign grounds as a corps member,” he said.
