Ahead of the 2019 general elections in the country, Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps(NYSC), Major General SZ Kazaure has told corp members that participation as Ad-hoc staff is not compulsory.

Naija News understands Kazaure stated this in Port-Harcourt today while addressing Corps Members in Rivers State as part of his efforts towards sensitizing them on electoral conduct.

He urged the Corps Members to build on the legacies of their predecessors by contributing their quota to the development of democratic process of the country.

“In 2011 and 2015 some Corps Members like you made us proud as good ambassadors of the NYSC Scheme during elections”.
