Corps members who have just completed their mandatory One year service across the country have been warned that the scheme does not issue a second certificate.
They are therefore advised to keep the certificates they are receiving after the passing out meticulously as long as they are living.
The assertion was made by the Bauchi State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Rifkatu Yakubu during the passing out of a total of 1,477 Corps members of the 2023 Batch ‘B’ Stream II in Bauchi state on Thursday.
She said that the Corps members that completed the service year consisted of 962 males and 515 females.
Rifkatu Yakubu urged the Corps members to handle their certificates with utmost care, saying that if lost, only a letter of acknowledgement would be issued to any Corps member who lost his certificate.
According to her, “Immediately you collect your certificate, ensure you handle it with all care because we don’t issue a second certificate. When your original certificate is missing, we don’t issue another one.”
“We’ll just give you a letter saying that you have served with us and that’s all. So, please, handle it with care,” She advised.
She also urged the Corps members not to be in a rush to laminate their certificates, admonishing them to check and ensure that their names were well spelt before lamination.
She stressed that, “If there is any error or mistakes in your certificate, go to the deployment and relocation branch and they will advise you on what to do.”
“Those of you that have harkened to our advice right from the orientation camp till the end of service year, especially on post camp Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development, I believe that God will not abandon you,” She also said.
Rifkatu Yakubu concluded saying, “You will see the importance of that hand work you have learned.”
