NYSC Boss Advises corps Members on Electoral
Duties
Corps Members that would serve as electoral officers in the
forthcoming Edo State Gubernatorial Election have been advised to
abide by the electoral laws and represent the NYSC Scheme as good
ambassadors.
NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim gave
this advise today in Benin while sensitizing the Corps Members on
their roles as impartial umpires.
He charged them to be patriotic, apolitical and maintain
neutrality throughout the conduct of the election.
He said Corps Members’ participation as ad-hoc staff in previous
elections in the country has attracted accolades to the NYSC within
and outside the country.
Gen Ibrahim urged the Corps Members to be security conscious and
use only INEC accredited vehicles throughout the period of the
election as part of security measures.
“As Corps Members in National Service, you are expected to be
neutral and apolitical. Adhere strictly to the electoral laws”.
“Don’t do anything untoward that will tarnish the image of the
NYSC Scheme. INEC Management hold you in high esteem because of
your knowledge, patriotism and our records in previous elections”,
the Director-General said.
The NYSC boss also advised the Corps Members to obey all the
COVID-19 safety protocols as they discharge their election
assignment.
General Ibrahim during the sensitization, appealed to the good
people of Edo State and security agencies to provide adequate
security for the Corps Members who are on National assignment as
ad-hoc officers during the election.
