Ibrahim gave the charge on Monday during the swearing in ceremony of Batch “B” Stream 1 Corps members at the temporary NYSC Orientation Camp, Amada, Gombe State.
He said corps members should shun acts capable of promoting disunity and division in the country.
“Always promote the unity of the country, let the spirit of NYSC lives in you.
“As nation builders; you must refrain from all forms of cyber crimes, drive your vision with passion, do not cut corners,” he said.
He urged the corps members to respect the culture and values as well as contribute meaningfully to the development of their host communities.
The DG stressed the need for the corps members to seek for permission before travelling in view of the spate of road accident and security challenges in the country.
“Recently, corps members have been involved in motor accident, therefore, it is mandatory to take permission before embarking on journey,” he said.
NewsSpecng gathered that 1,365 corps members were registered during the orientation exercise made up of 650 males and 715 females.
