NYSC Director to Corps members: White-collar jobs won’t make you rich

NIGERIAN TRIBUNE 

The Director of Corps Welfare and Health Services of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Omotade Ayodele has admonished corps members not to rely on white-collar jobs, saying it’s not a means to sustain financial success.

Ayodele stated this on Thursday while addressing Corps members during his visit to the NYSC orientation camp at Wannune, Tarka Local Government Area of Benue State.

The director advised the corps members to fully engage in the NYSC Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) programme.

He described the programme as a crucial pathway to financial independence rather than seeking white-collar jobs after their one-year mandatory service.

He said, “SAED is your way to say goodbye to poverty and avoid the frustration of carrying files around, saying ‘Good morning, sir’. “White-collar job alone will not make you wealthy. You must explore entrepreneurial opportunities and develop valuable skills to secure your future.”
