General Kazaure Takes Over as NYSC DG, Promises Fairness to All

History was made on Monday, 18th April, 2016, as Brigadier – General Sule Zakari Kazaure assumes office as the 17th Director- General of the National Youth Service Corps at the Yakubu Gowon House, the National Directorate Headquarters of the scheme located in
Maitama, Abuja.


The new DG, who thanked the Almighty Allah for his grace, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Chief of Army Staff for the priviledge to serve in NYSC promised to contribute his own quota to the development of the scheme.


General Kazaure therefore solicited for the support of the entire staff of the scheme as he promised to give staff and corps welfare priority during his tenure of office.


While thanking President Buhari for considering him worthy of the appointment, he noted that he is aware of the daunting challenges and the bumpy road to success but expressed optimism that with maximum cooperation, the task would be achieved. He pledged to make corps members’ and staff welfare his priority.


‘I want to thank you for the support and unalloyed loyalty you gave to the outgoing DG. I am soliciting for more support to consolidate on the success and achievements made towards moving the scheme to greater heights. I know that the task ahead is enormous and the road looks rough, but with unity of purpose, cooperation and support of all we will make progress. Therefore I urge all to be proactive, positive and be optimistic in all our dealings so that our efforts will give us the desired success of the scheme in line with the vision of the present administration’.


‘On my part, I understand the importance of a motivated workforce, therefore I will endeavor to give staff and corps members’ welfare a priority and in doing so, I will be fair and transparent in my administration in order to enable us succeed’, Kazaure said.



Earlier in his farewell address before the symbolic handing over of the flag, the immediate past Director-General, Brigadier-General Johnson Olawumi recounted how he was ushered into the corporate Headquarters of NYSC on the 6th of January, 2014. He thanked the top Management and staff of the scheme for the enormous cooperation accorded him all through his tenure.



‘NYSC staff are industrious, competent and committed. Your unalloyed loyalty, support and general work ethics attest to this fact. I could not have achieved much without your loyalty and support, therefore, I thank you all immensely and pray that the Almighty God will sustain you and be with your families at every point of their needs’.



‘I crave your indulgence to support the new Director-General to enable him consolidate on the success and achievements so far recorded. Staff have a lot to contribute to the sustenance of the chronicles of this laudable scheme which has over the years contributed to the development of the nation.’ Olawumi added.


Olawumi however lamented his administration’s inability to execute
some programmes and activities like the sports and cultural festival due to paucity of fund but added that the management is at the verge of securing a sponsorship deal of 150 million naira with GLOBACOM
Nigeria Ltd.


He also hinted that his challenges while in office include the increasing corps population with lean financial resources but added that efforts were in gear to increase corps members allowances.


The erstwhile NYSC boss urged the new NYSC helmsman to prioritize staff and corps members’ welfare during and after orientation camps in order to boost their morale for optimal productivity.


In his vote of thanks, the Director Human Resource Management, Chief Anthony Ani, expressed appreciation to the President for appointing an Officer of General Kazaure’s calibre as the Director- General stressing that in the history of the forty-three year old Scheme, this would be the first time a Ph.D holder will be heading the Scheme. He assured the new Director-General of maximum cooperation
of all staff.


The event was witnessed by Management staff at the National Directorate Headquarters as well as all the NYSC State and FCT Coordinators.

How to add Geotags to your Instagram pictures

We all love Instagram, especially since the messages – pictures and videos - are uniquely instant. There are however moments where we are unable to remember the location of some pictures or videos but would like share that information on our walls anyways.


For instance, you may have returned to Nigeria from a trip to Ghana and want to post a picture you took of Kwame Nkrume’s statue at the park but find you are unable to indicate that it was taken while you were in Ghana. In such situations you realize that you may succeed in posting these throwback pictures but you may not be able to use the geotag feature as Instagram cannot find locations after you have left the spot.


Geotagging adds a level of originality to posts and for picture taking purpose, it is important to make sure that Location Service is turned on for every Camera App you use, including Instagram. However if you took the photo somewhere else, not the place where you are uploading the photo from, and the image file does not contain that specific info, and you determined to geotag it on Instagram, Jovago.com, Africa’s No.1 online hotel booking has some steps that could be of immense help.

Step 1:

Login to your Instagram app and using the file picker, select the photo or Video to which you want to add location.

Step 2:

Once you are on the photo page, at the bottom-right corner, next to the ‘Like’ and ‘Comment’ buttons, you will find an icon with three-dots. Tap on this icon and select the ‘Edit’ option from the list of menu presented.

Step 3:

The option takes you to the edit page, where you can edit the picture, including the photo caption and the location. If per chance the photo does not include location info, look for an ‘Add Location’ link at the top left corner, just under your username and next to your avatar. Tap on the link to edit the location.


Step 4:

From the suggested list the pops up, pick a suitable location. If you do not see the location you want, search for it, and when you find the location, tap on it. This step is the key to adding the location to your photo.


Step 5:

On completing Step 4, you should see your newly added location shown on the photo. To ensure it the amendment is saved, confirm the change by tapping on the “Done” button.
