The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig. Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, has warned “corps members against engaging in political campaigns or using their NYSC identity and social media platforms to promote political parties and candidates ahead of the 2027 elections.”
Nafiu also cautioned corps members against “spreading misinformation and AI-generated content,” urging them to verify information before sharing or reposting it on social media.
The NYSC director-general gave the warning on Wednesday during his working visit to the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Katsina, Arise TV reported.
He reminded the corps members that they were required to “remain politically neutral and must not use their NYSC identity or social media platforms to campaign” for political parties or their candidates.
