Politics
MR Anthony Nzoka, the Coordinator, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Taraba, has advised corps members not to meddle in local politics in their places of primary assignments.
Nzoka gave the advise on Tuesday at the closing ceremony of the 2023 batch A stream 1 Orientation programme at the Permanent Orientation Camp at Sibre, near Jalingo.
The coordinator said that the corps members were expected to be neutral as they perform election duties during the forthcoming general elections.
“I want to urge you all not to meddle in local politics but remain neutral as you perform the election duties for a better country.
“The bulk of the ad-hoc staff that will be used in conducting the elections will be corps members,” he said.
Nzoka quoted the Director General of the Corps, Brig-. Gen. Yushau Ahmed, as directing the corps members to be conscious of their personal security, avoid unauthorised travel, night travels and all other acts that could compromise security.
He commended Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba for his continuous support to the success of the scheme in the state.
Miss Benidicta Hillary, a corps member, lauded the NYSC for the quality of orientation programme in the camp.
Hillary noted that the entrepreneurship training had changed her perception about seeking employment, saying she now feels that would end up becoming a job creator. (NAN)
