Ada Imoni, the Gombe State Coordinator for the National Youth Service Corps, has warned prospective corps members against defacing their uniforms by slimming them down or cutting their trousers to make them shorter.
Imoni issued this speech on Monday, titled ‘2021 Batch ‘C’ Stream I Orientation Course,’ in which she gave certain guidelines to the state’s aspiring corps members.
“Management of the scheme has observed the growing trend of defacement of the NYSC uniform and improper dressing by Corps members. In view of that, Prospective Corps Members are advised not to deface the uniform either by slim fitting, use of rubber band at the helm of the khaki trouser or cutting it to ‘three quarter’. They must be ready to be properly dressed for all occasions and function as leaders of tomorrow and role models to millions of youth in the country,” she said.
The announcement also stated that the orientation course will run from October 20th to November 9th, 2021, and reminded all members to adhere to the COVID-19 protocols.
“You are to also come prepared to observe the COVID-19 safety measures of regular use of the face mask, washing of hands under running water, and use of alcohol-based sanitizers. With strict adherence to the COVID-19 safety measures, we can mitigate the risk of transmission of the virus on camp,” the statement revealed.
