“The public is hereby advised to visit any State Secretariat of the NYSC or other formations across the country to seek clarification on issues affecting the Scheme.

“Henceforth, Management states that the full weight of the law would be applied on any individual or group of persons found advertising anything that borders on the policy of the Scheme on the Social Media.” he added.
