The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has charged the NYSC Information and Public Relations Officers to use the Scheme’s Social Media handles to create content that is appealing to Corps Members, Corps Producing Institutions, Parents and other Stakeholders.
In a Wednesday statement signed by Caroline Embu, NYSC Director of Information and Public Relations, the DG stated this while interacting with participants at the 2025 NYSC Information and Public Relations, Protocol, Freedom of Information and Media Officers Workshop held in Abuja.
Nafiu advised them to create contents that would sustain the interest of youths and at the same time generate revenue, and boost the Scheme’s image.
He further enjoined the officers to be more proactive in information management and news dissemination.
