NSCDC Boss Emphasizes Discipline and Responsibility to NYSC Members

Prince Oluyemi Joshua Ibiloye, the State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ondo State, has reminded corps members that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a disciplined organization that does not tolerate negative behaviors.

Addressing the 2024 Batch ‘B’ (Stream 1) corps members at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Ikare-Akoko, Ibiloye highlighted that some youths may bring unruly behaviors from home or school, but such conduct will not be accepted in the NYSC.

The NSCDC Commandant, a Kwara-born royal officer, emphasized that their mandate, along with other security agencies, is to protect lives and properties. He warned that any violation of the law will be dealt with accordingly.

Drawing from his own NYSC experience in Kebbi during the 1997/98 service year, Ibiloye advised corps members to use this period as an opportunity for self-discovery. He reassured them of their safety in Ondo State, known for its peaceful environment, and praised the experienced security heads in the state.

As the 20th NSCDC boss to lead the Ondo State command, Ibiloye reminded corps members that the NYSC was established to promote unity and integration among Nigeria’s diverse tribes and ethnic groups. He urged them to avoid cybercrimes and other vices, emphasizing their role as future leaders.

In his welcome address, State Coordinator Mr. Sam Amaramiro Pepple congratulated the corps members and addressed any misconceptions about the state. He highlighted the recent visits of key security chiefs, including the Brigade Commander of the 32 Artillery Brigade, the Commissioner of Police, and the NSCDC State Commandant, as a demonstration of the commitment to the NYSC scheme in Ondo.

Pepple expressed gratitude for Ibiloye’s visit, describing it as a morale booster for the corps members. He assured that the corps members are patriotic and dedicated to upholding the objectives of the NYSC.
