Members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have been advised to maintain a work environment free of rancor. The Vice Chancellor of the University of AfricaToru-orua (UAT), Professor Solomon Tamarabrakemi Ebobrah gave the advice when Corp Members attached to the University of Africa Toru-orua visited him to congratulate him on his appointment as the Substantive Vice-Chancellor of the UAT.
The Vice-Chancellor among other things charged the Corp Members to take the right decisions always as adults.

He urged them to discard the mindset to run away from the Country and join hands to build Nigeria to become a better place and not scavenge the system.
