The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig.-Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, has urged corps members to cultivate a savings culture and develop multiple streams of income beyond their monthly allowance.

Nafiu said this during the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja on Wednesday, ahead of NYSC’s 53rd anniversary, scheduled for May 22.

He highlighted the role of the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme in promoting financial discipline and encouraging corps members to embrace entrepreneurship and self-reliance.
