The Minister of State, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dr Mariya Mahmoud has urged graduates undergoing the one-year mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme to channel their talent to productive ventures.

Mahmoud gave the charge during the closing ceremony of the 2023 Batch ‘C’ Stream I Orientation Course, at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Kubwa, Abuja on Tuesday.

“In that spirit, I urge you to accept your postings in good faith and settle down quickly in order to contribute to the growth of the nation,” she said.

The minister admonished the graduates to be peaceful and law-abiding as they stepped into FCT communities for their primary assignment.

According to her, peaceful conduct will draw the people to love, accept, and support them throughout the service year.

“My charge to you, therefore, is that you put in your best, and future generations will speak well of you,” she said.

While stating that the security of lives and property remained paramount in the FCT, she assured the serving corps members of the safety of their lives and properties at all service locations.
