NYSC DG Olakunle Nafiu Urges Corps Members to Diversify Income

Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), addressed the 2026 Batch C Stream One corps members at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Anambra State. He urged them to diversify their income sources, warning that a single source of income might not suffice for their daily needs.

Nafiu encouraged the corps members to utilize their service year to acquire relevant skills, develop an entrepreneurial mindset, and explore legitimate financial opportunities. He emphasized the importance of building lasting relationships beyond their service year and leveraging available business opportunities for wealth creation.

Nafiu advised them to embrace diligence and acquire as many skills as possible while young, and to contribute meaningfully to their host communities. Mrs Pauline Ojisua, the NYSC Anambra State Coordinator, reported that 1,623 corps members were registered for the orientation exercise, noting their discipline and cooperation in supporting various camp committees.
