The Director-General of NYSC, Brig-General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has flagged-off the NYSC national sanitation exercise at the palace of the Sa’Nyanyayi of Nyanya Saturday.
In his address, General Ibrahim pointed out that the need to enlighten the general public on the risk of poor hygiene was based on the experts’ report which attributed most ailments diagnosed to poor sanitation habits.
The exercise, the DG said, was an avenue to empower the people with adequate information on personal and environmental hygiene with special focus on regular environmental sanitation and proper disposal of waste among others.
He commended the efforts of the NYSC officers as well as corps members who put in their best in the humanitarian service to the community.
