He added that there is no immunity for any Corps member who violates the NYSC Bye-Law and other laws of the country.

“Don’t consume hard drugs, avoid fraud, hooliganism and other forms of misconduct that can lead you to trouble.

“Don’t violate the Scheme’s Bye-Law. Avoid night travelling and respect the constituted authorities because offenders would be sanctioned”, he said.

General Ahmed also advised the Corps members to adhere strictly to the NYSC dress code.
