The Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim gave this advice yesterday Monday 30 11 2020. while addressing the 2020 Batch ‘B’ Stream IA Corps Members at the NYSC FCT Orientation Camp in Kubwa, Abuja.

He warned them against stage managing their own rejection as anyone caught doing so would be sanctioned.
