The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has cautioned Corps members against using social media irresponsibly, urging them instead to project positive content about the Scheme and Nigeria.
The warning was issued by the Director General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, while addressing the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Corps members at the Delta State Orientation Camp in Issele-Uku on Friday.
According to a statement shared on the NYSC’s official X handle, Nafiu stressed that any negative or inappropriate social media posts by Corps members would attract sanctions.
He also advised Corps members to avoid unauthorised travel and to adhere strictly to camp rules and instructions.
“Follow simple instructions, be obedient, go for your biometrics, and participate in Community Development Service. Learn and respect the cultural values of your host communities and do not misrepresent us at your place of primary assignment,” he said.
Earlier, the NYSC Delta State Coordinator, Mr. John Kwaghe, gave a report on camp activities, noting that 2,101 Corps members — 944 male and 1,157 female — had been deployed to Delta State. He added that activities were running smoothly and that Corps members had shown commendable discipline.

Meanwhile, the DG had earlier given a similar charge in Rivers State, urging Corps members there to uphold the core values of the NYSC throughout their service year. He emphasised patriotism, integrity, efficiency, transparency, and commitment as essential guiding principles.
The NYSC continues to remind Corps members that how they represent themselves — especially online — also reflects on the country.
