The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Zakari Kazaure, while assuring Corps Members posted to serve in Taraba State of adequate security has warned then against evangelism.

He insisted that the concern of the corps members should be to serve and not to go and indoctrinate the host communities

Kazaure said these on Wednesday in Jalingo when he visited Corps members currently undergoing orientation course at the NYSC camp, Sibre, near Jalingo.

Represented by the Director of administration and management, Alhaji Habibu Kurawa, the DG said that the NYSC management was aware that elections were around the corner and had put in place measures to ensure the safety of each corps member posted to the state.

“I can assure you that we don’t wait till the election before working for the security of Corps members.

“We have put in place measures to ensure that your accommodations are well guarded and officials on the ground have instructions to collaborate with the relevant security agencies in your respective places of Primary Assignment to guarantee your safety.

“Let me, however, warn you that you are posted to go and serve and not to go and evangelise. Your concern should be to serve and not to go and indoctrinate your host communities. Conversion of souls is not your concern,” Kazaure said.

He urged the Corps members to conduct themselves well and be good ambassadors of their states, tribes, and schools.

He noted that the society expects a lot from the corps members and urged them to work hard to live up to the expectations.

The DG called on the corps members to avail themselves of the opportunities in the state to build themselves for self-sufficiency rather than looking for white collar jobs that are rarely available.

The devil is a liar. Rural rugged will never die!

Relax..! Mr DG what concern u..!

So people don't have the right to preach again..!

anybody that thinks Nigeria is guided by a constitution should better wake up..!

Evangelization is equally service to humanity

Sometimes when I look at the surrounding circumstances and situations, taking a critical and logical analysis of events all around this country, I wonder if this country will actually survive as one.
It's obvious there's no longer religious tolerance and that's a very dangerous dimension threatening the cooperate existence of this Nation.
How can a DG come and tell Corps members they are not sent to go and evangelise in their host communities, its very appalling,i guess he will never comment on Corps members who indulge in "runs" in their host communities as his very OK with that.
Of a truth we truly deserve what we get in this country. Religious, ethnic and tribal sentiments is the bane of this country.

Buharis islamic brother..By dia words you shall know dem..Terrorist

use ur sense abeg...that's a good advice

It is not until you load yourselves inside buses to go to villages that you can preach. Some of these NYSC preachers dont even bother about their fellow corp members salvation before jumping into unknown domains to catch fishes. Many of them do it as a mere routine and not even from convinced hearts.

I support.... oya kill urself

Kpan-kan

Why focusing on evangelism

Nccf will never die hallelujah. rural rugged will never die hallelujah!!

sunsewa16:

and they will get killed by those who doesn't want doctrines against their own religion?

When you go to Rome ,behave like the Romans, even Liverpool fans were asked not to wear their colours on their way to the stadium today based on security matters, not a bad advice due to d state if the nation, life no get part 2 ,,,na serve una go serve ,na just 1yr ,after then come home and preach ,people plenty here wen never hear d Gospel, and de need evangelism, leave dose guys with their religion,on the last day everyone go answer their name , make unu get sense oooooooo

It will never

If there is an attempt on ur life during evangelism, would the constitution b invoked by sending security team for ur safety.

NYSC constitutionally has nothing to do with indoctrinating ur host with ur religion. U can prove me wrong.
