The National Youth Service Corps, or NYSC, has instructed corps members who will be on election duty to complete their duties carefully.
At a one-day pre-election sensitization program for corps members and staff of the program on Wednesday in Amawbia, Awka South LGA, Mrs. Blessing Iruma, Coordinator of NYSC in Anambra, issued the warning.
Iruma emphasized that they must carry out their duties in accordance with the Electoral Act’s regulations and in accordance with the general election training they received. They must also take care to ensure that they do not obstruct the conduct of a free, fair, and credible election, he added.

You must abstain from partisan politics and conduct a credible election that is free and fair for the entire country.
“There are dangers in taking bribes from politicians; tread with caution and work conscientiously.
“Do not fall for their Greek gifts, be discerning because all that glitters is not gold, and stay away from partisan politics,” she said.
The election is taking place at a crucial time in the history of the country, according to Mrs. Uche Enemchukwu, a representative of the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters.

Enemchukwu exhorted the corps members to carry out their responsibilities with the utmost sense of accountability.
She claimed that because Nigerians have such high regard for NYSC Corps members, you must refrain from doing anything that might betray that regard.
You have graduated and are serving in the corps; as such, you ought to be impartial, devoted, patriotic, and responsible.
“The reason they trusted you is because they could always find you whenever they looked for you; you are not able to elude them.”
