Bauchi State Governor, Sen Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir, has opined that while the initiation of meaningful and impactful projects is going through the minds of Corps members, it will keep them away from inappropriate behaviours on camp and during their service year.
The Governor therefore called on them to start initiating meaningful Community Development Service projects in their places of primary assignment while on camp.
Bala Mohammed stated this on Tuesday at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Wailo, in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state during the swearing-in ceremony of the 2023 Batch C Stream 1 Corps members posted to the state.
Represented by the Commissioner of Internal Security, Barr Abdulhamid Bununu, the Governor also enjoined them to take the noble call with the utmost seriousness and dedicate themselves to achieving the scheme’s goal of national unity and development.
According to him, “the good people of Bauchi State appreciate and understand the objectives and philosophy of the NYSC.
In view of this, we have resolved to join hands with you in every way possible to ensure the success of the scheme in the state.”
The governor also said, “You have a very important role to play in shaping our corporate destiny, and you must never mortgage this unique opportunity nor shirk your responsibility towards the nation.”
Earlier, the Bauchi State Coordinator of NYSC, Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu, commended the Bauchi state government for its unwavering commitment towards the realisation of NYSC objectives in the state.
She, however, appealed to the state government for the provision of additional hostel accommodations for both corps members and camp officials, as well as the provision of additional mattresses and plastic chairs.
Riktatu Yakubu also appealed for the upgrading of the orientation camp multi-purpose hall to 5,000 capacity so as to meet up with the growing population of corps members deployed to the state, among others.
The state coordinator explained that at the end of the registration of corps members on Sunday, a total of 1,325 corps members, comprising 593 females and 732 males, were registered.
“All of them shall, at the end of the orientation exercise, be posted to areas where their services are most needed in accordance with the NYSC posting policy”, she said.
