The Lagos State National Youth Service Corp (NYSC), Batch A, stream one corps members have been charged to shun corruption at all levels, as well as use of hard drugs at the orientation camp.
The Assistant Director on Core Discipline and Reward, Mrs Christiana Afolayan who gave the charge while delivering a lecture on Core Discipline and Reward, lamented that most corps members have been engaging in fraudulent activities, especially the forgery of documents for their one year national service.
She said the National Youth Service Corp frowns at forging of documents, such as the medical fitness certificate and school documents among others, which she said corps members have been engaging in throughout the years.
Afolayan said forgery, fraud and intake of hardware drugs are prohibited in the national scheme, as the punishment for such acts include, sanction from the camp court and disciplinary committee, prosecution by the Nigerian Police Force and Extension of service years.
"On this camp discipline is our watch word. You must maintain discipline as corps members at all time. The Camp Court has been constituted to try corps members for indiscipline. We also have the Corps Disciplinary Committee.
"Majority of corps members present fake medical certificate of fitness. Those fake certificate of fitness and fake documents, if discovered you would be prosecuted and handed over to the police.
"Other offences that attract camp court are: stealing, which is a serious offence. Anyone caught would be made to face the camp court and given 90 days extension of service, including their one year service.
"No corps member is expected to posses arms and ammunition, anyone caught would be handed over to the police for persecution. Also the possession of hard drugs, such as tramadol, cocaine, Indian hemp is prohibited. Corps members are not expected to be involved in this.
Afolayan also emphasied on the need for corps members to maintain discipline and adhere to the NYSC rules, as non-compliance would get disciplinary measures.
"One has to maintain discipline and abide by the NYSC rules. Failure to wear the NYSC uniform properly would attract sanction from the Camp court and the Corp disciplinary committee, who will try those corps members who have erred the rules of the NYSC, which are on the orientation guide. All Corp members are expected to know those guidelines," she concluded as she filleded questions from the corps members.
