The Bauchi State Governor, Mohammed
Abdullahi Abubakar, has assured the management of the National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) that the ongoing repairs, reconstruction and
rehabilitation of structures at their Wailo camp that were destroyed by
the recent rainstorm would be completed within a few weeks.....
The governor, who gave the assurance
Friday during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2018 Batch B corps members
deployed in the state, said:
“I want to assure the management of the
scheme that the ongoing repairs, reconstruction and rehabilitation of
camp structures and facilities that were destroyed by rainstorm will be
completed before the conclusion of the orientation course in order to
create a perfect enabling atmosphere for the success of the programme.”
The governor also stressed that: “In
recognition of its (NYSC) importance to national cohesion and
development, my administration places the needs of the scheme on top of
its priorities.”
While reemphasizing that the scheme
helps in inculcating national values and fostering unity among diverse
citizens, Abubakar also assured the youth of their safety and comfort
throughout their service year in the state.
Earlier, the state NYSC Coordinator, Mr
Afolayan James, explained that at the close of registration, a total of
1,974 corps members comprising 1,161 males and 813 females were
registered in the state.
The NYSC coordinator noted that: “The
management of the scheme on its part has put in place a fool proof
arrangement for their training so that they can perform optimally during
the service year.
To this end, experts and professionals have been
assembled to train and equip them with necessary sundry knowledge and
skills they require for effective service delivery during the service
year.”
