While specifically addressing the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream 11 female corps members, she said, “Ladies, please remember that your boyfriends are not your parents. Do not say that after collecting your certificates, you are heading to your boyfriends’ houses.
“Go back home to your parents and celebrate with them. You have just completed your national service, and this is a moment to share with your family."
"Even if you haven’t learnt anything from the SAED programme, it’s not too late. Instead of going home to sit idle, find something to do to support your parents. Use this last allowance wisely; invest in learning a trade,” she said.
Yakubu strongly advised corps members to avoid any illegal activities, including internet scams (yahoo yahoo), kidnapping, or ritual killings, in their quest for quick wealth.
“These are not the values NYSC has instilled in you. You have served to become responsible members of society,” she said
“Represent your family well, be a good ambassador of Nigeria, your institution, and the NYSC.”
She urged the corps members to thoroughly examine their National Service certificates for any errors before laminating them.
