Members of the Agro-Allied Community Development Service (CDS), Keffi Local Government Area, on February 23 conducted a sensitization programme on food security and personal awareness at Maranatha Grace Group of Schools in Keffi.

The outreach was carried out with the approval of the Local Government Inspector (LGI) and focused on educating students about food security in Nigeria and the role of young people in agricultural development.

During the session, corps members explained the meaning of food security and discussed the importance of agriculture to national development. They outlined causes of food insecurity in Nigeria, including production challenges and post-harvest losses, and encouraged students to avoid food wastage. Students were also advised on ways they could support their families in protecting farm produce and gradually develop interest in agriculture.

In a separate segment, corps members addressed issues related to personal security awareness. Students were advised to remain security conscious, avoid interactions with strangers, report suspicious activities to responsible adults, and take steps to protect themselves and their surroundings.

The programme included an interactive session in which students responded to questions based on the topics discussed. Tomato seeds and pepper seedlings were distributed to students who answered questions correctly, with instructions to plant them at home as part of a backyard farming initiative aimed at encouraging practical agricultural engagement.

Corps members also distributed exercise books and pens to students, while writing markers were provided to teachers to support classroom activities.

As part of the visit, the CDS group presented gifts to the school’s Principal and the Reverend Father, who serves as Proprietor of the institution, in appreciation of the school’s cooperation.

According to the CDS group, the sensitization programme was designed to promote awareness of food security, encourage youth participation in agriculture, and strengthen personal security consciousness among students.

The National Peer Group Educators on Financial Inclusion, a Community Development Service (CDS) group of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Nasarawa State, on February 26 conducted a financial literacy and anti-fraud sensitization programme for students of Government Secondary School (GSS) Yelwa in Keffi.

Markus Faith, who moderated the event, introduced the purpose of the visit and explained that the session was designed to help students understand the risks associated with fraudulent activities and the importance of informed financial decisions.

During a session on understanding fraud, Handsome Victor defined fraud as "the unauthorized or illegal use of information or resources for personal gain. He outlined common forms, including phishing, impersonation, identity theft, advance fee fraud, and investment fraud, and explained their legal and social consequences."

An interactive game session led by Hope Thomas required students to distinguish between legitimate opportunities and fraudulent schemes using practical scenarios.

The programme also featured a student debate on the motion: “Peer pressure is the main reason teenagers engage in scams.” Students presented arguments both in support of and against the motion, discussing factors such as social influence, moral upbringing, and financial literacy.

Yusuf Comfort addressed the students on legitimate ways of earning income, highlighting vocational skills such as tailoring, hairdressing, catering, phone repairs, and small-scale production as viable options.

A quiz session was conducted to reinforce lessons from earlier segments. Real-life illustrations were later shared by Jose Samuel and Markus Faith to contextualize the discussion.

During a question-and-answer session, students raised concerns about identifying scams, handling peer pressure, and starting small businesses with limited capital. Corps members responded to the inquiries.
