The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has cautioned corps members stationed in Osun State against engaging in partisan politics or any activity that could jeopardise their safety or the integrity of the electoral process.
During the official closing ceremony for the 2026 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Orientation Course on Monday at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Ede, Osun State NYSC Coordinator Ekeng Ita Kubiangha delivered the warning. He reminded the corps members that they will serve as ad‑hoc electoral personnel for the August 15 governor election in the state and must therefore remain neutral, professional and law‑abiding at all times.
“Be mindful of your expected role as ad‑hoc electoral personnel. I charge you to remain neutral, professional, and law‑abiding at all times,” Kubiangha said. “Also, steer away from partisan politics or any activity capable of compromising your safety and the integrity of the electoral process.”
The coordinator also urged the corps members to use social media responsibly, warning against the spread of fake news, inflammatory content and unguarded posts that could bring the NYSC scheme into disrepute. He advised them to stay security‑conscious, avoid unauthorised journeys, respect the customs and traditions of their host communities, and maintain proper communication with NYSC officials at their places of deployment.
He congratulated the corps members on completing the three‑week orientation exercise and praised their discipline, resilience, cooperation and active participation throughout the programme. Kubiangha encouraged them to settle quickly into their various Places of Primary Assignment (PPA) and to discharge their responsibilities diligently, responsibly and professionally.
Emphasising the importance of punctuality, dedication to duty, respect for constituted authority and commitment to excellence, he noted that the conduct of corps members significantly shapes the public image and integrity of the NYSC scheme.
