The Pan-African Institute for Global Affairs and Strategy (PAIGAS) has sensitised Corps Members of the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream I at the NYSC FCT Permanent Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja, on the dangers of illegal migration and the importance of making informed decisions when seeking opportunities abroad.

The sensitisation programme featured an awareness video and a presentation by His Excellency, Ambassador Abdulazeez Musa Dankano, who educated Corps Members on the risks of irregular migration, including human trafficking, exploitation, abuse and loss of lives.

The Ambassador urged Corps Members to seek accurate information, verify travel documents, comply with immigration laws and use recognised, lawful migration channels. He also cautioned them against fraudulent travel agents and misleading promises of greener pastures.

In his opening remarks, the NYSC FCT Coordinator, Mr. Samson Ateli, emphasised the importance of the programme in equipping Corps Members with the knowledge to make responsible decisions about their future.

As part of the initiative, some Corps Members volunteered to serve as PAIGAS Ambassadors, helping to promote awareness of illegal migration and its dangers among their peers and the wider community.

The programme reinforced the need for safe and lawful migration, encouraging Corps Members to pursue personal and professional opportunities while prioritising their safety and making informed choices.

NYSC Retired Director, Mrs. Victoria Bosede Okakwu, has charged the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream I Corps Members to make their service year a period of positive impact, personal growth and meaningful contribution to society.

Speaking on Wednesday, 7th October, 2026, during a motivational lecture at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja, Mrs. Okakwu urged Corps Members to develop a positive mindset, dare to be different and make the most of their national service experience.

She encouraged them to acquire at least one skill through the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) Programme, noting that this could help position them as future employers of labour rather than job seekers.

The retired Director also urged Corps Members to promote peace and unity in their host communities through impactful Community Development Service (CDS) projects that address the felt needs of the people.

She further advised them to remain law-abiding, adhere to camp rules and regulations, stay security-conscious and avoid night travels.

A major highlight was an inspiring talk by Mr. Peace, a food processor, business owner and former Corps Member (2010–2011), who encouraged Corps Members to identify opportunities, solve problems and create value, emphasizing that financial rewards follow when genuine value is created.

Corps Members were also introduced to entrepreneurship and financial literacy opportunities, including the Kudimata Youth Capital Market Initiative, OTNI, NiYA Gigs and the NYSC SME Toolkit powered by the Enterprise Development Centre of Pan-Atlantic University.

Declaring the programme open on behalf of the Acting Director, SAED, Mrs. Shokpeka Winifred, the FCT Coordinator urged Corps Members to aspire to become employers of labour and creators of opportunities, rather than limiting themselves to dependence on conventional 9–5 jobs.

The ceremony ended on an inspiring note, with Corps Members energized and ready to LEARN • BUILD • CREATE • GROW as they take meaningful steps towards self-reliance and wealth creation. 🚀
