Corps Members have been advised to exhibit good leadership qualities that are worthy of emulation as they serve their fatherland.
This advice was given by the NYSC Director General, Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu while addressing Corps Members at Jigawa, Yobe and Borno State Orientation Camps.
He implored them to be prepared for leadership roles with diligence, foresight, strong determination and creative mindsets to survive despite any odds.
