NYSC Corps Members to be Trained in Martial Arts



The Director General, National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brig-Gen. Nnamdi Affia, has emphasized the need to train corps members in self defense.

During a visit to Akwa Ibom State NYSC permanent camp, Affia noted that self protection had become mandatory for everyone due to reports of kidnapping in the country.

He stressed that the idea behind the introduction of martial art was to expose all corps member to various ways in which they could protect themselves.

He urged corp members to understand the community they are posted to after their three weeks in camp and shun acts of confrontation with village idols in the name of religion.
He charged corps members to dress decently and avoid night parties and unnecessary traveling.
