The new Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Shuaibu Ibrahim says he prefers to die than lose any corps member.
The DG made this known on Wednesday during a visit to the staff and corps members at the NYSC Zonal Office in Akure.
Ibrahim told the corps members to keep themselves abreast of what was happening in their environment, urging them to be security conscious.
“I will prefer to die than losing a corps member. Keep yourself abreast of what is happening in your country, and make a difference as a corps member.
“I want to rejig our skills acquisition programme. If you take it seriously, we have partners that are ready to lend you money. I am very passionate about the scheme and my corps members.
“I came for a youth programme, so I decided to visit you my ‘children’. What will you be remembered for, when you leave this place? Try as much as possible to keep your records clean,” he said.
