Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig. Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, has warned corps members against participating in political campaigns or using their NYSC identities and social media accounts to promote political parties and candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Nafiu also urged corps members to be cautious about misinformation and AI-generated materials, stressing the need to authenticate information before sharing or reposting content online.
He gave the warning on Wednesday during a working visit to the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Katsina, according to Arise TV.
The NYSC boss reminded corps members that their participation in partisan political activities was prohibited and that they were expected to maintain political neutrality throughout their service year.
He warned that corps members whose online activities were found to be promoting political parties or candidates while using their NYSC identities could face disciplinary measures.
