Wife of the governor of Lagos State, Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, has charged youth corp members posted to the state, to be security conscious and to avoid hate speeches.

She gave the admonition on Thursday at the Nigerian Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos, when she paid a courtesy visit to the Batch A, Stream II corps members, deployed to the state for the mandatory one-year national service.

Mrs. Ambode noted that the founding fathers of the NYSC did a great job of establishing the scheme that brings corps members of diverse socio-cultural, political, economic and religious background together, for the main purpose of promoting peace, unity, discipline and leadership qualities.
