DO NOT PUBLICISE YOUR TRAVEL – Gen. Komolafe tells Prospective Corps Members

 
Inaugural lecturer, Gen. Joe Komolafe Rtd. has urged Prospective Corps Members to avoid publishing their travels and avoid non-essential travels to high-risk areas. 
He made the statement during the 2022 Batch B Stream 2 NYSC inaugural lecture on Saturday at NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Ede, Osun State.
 
General Komolafe in his lecture themed around security intimated PCMs to be security conscious during the service year in order to be able to avert insecurity in their respective places of primary assignment. He lamented about youths' compulsive use of the social media to share their locations and destination during travels, and the potential to attract risks to themselves, giving out “so much information” online.
 
He enjoined PCMs to observe security lapses in their Places of Primary Assignments when posted, and to be able to report such lapses to available authority for their safety and others' in that PPA. 
 
Speaking on control during crisis situation, Gen. Komolafe shared tips to PCMs in order for them to vacate safely from those “difficult situations.” 
 
According to him, the best way to secure yourself is to “feel secured.” He charged PCMs to look for safety points like Police Stations, Banks, Churches, Business Places when in danger and should always have contact numbers of their local government inspectors and security agents handy at all times. 
 
Gen. Komolafe also urged youths to desist from drug abuse as it has become an endemic problem in contemporary times. He said substance abuse like the use of Tramadol, Cocaine, Cough syrup without prescription has ended the lives of prospective young men and woman, and that if they continue in substance abuse, the future of the country is at stake.
 
Earlier, State Coordinator, NYSC Osun State, Mrs. Abdulwahab Olayinka welcomed Prospective Corps Members to the inaugural lecture, easing them in through playful claps and obliged them to have the best of time, mingle with people from far and wide as that is one of the many opportunities NYSC offer to PCMs.
