THE Governor of Kaduna State, Sen. Uba Sani, has eulogised the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), saying that the scheme has positively reshaped the attitude of Nigerians.
Sani said this at the opening/swearing-in ceremony of the 2023 batch ‘B’ stream ‘2’ orientation course for corps members on Friday in Kaduna.
Sani, represented by the Commissioner for Human Services and Social Development, Hajiya Rabi Salisu, said the scheme has contributed immensely to the development of rural communities.
He added that the scheme, designed to serve as a platform in ensuring even spread and mobility of skilled manpower through the deployment of graduates to serve in states other than theirs, has also contributed in reshaping the attitude of Nigerians.
“The pivotal role of the NYSC scheme in our quest for national integration and sustainable development is attested to by the noteworthy contributions of corps members to community development and the implementation of many Government programmes and projects.
“For instance, the people of this country will always be appreciative of the noble role of corps members in the evolution of a credible electoral process, the fight against illiteracy, primary health care delivery, infrastructural
development, among others,” he said.
Gov. Sani, therefore, urged the corps members to firmly uphold the oats of allegiance they took to motivate them in conducting yourselves creditably at all times.
“The corps members are not only ambassadors of the NYSC, but also representatives of all Nigerian youths,” he said.
He assured the Corps members of the State Government’s committed to always create enabling environment needed for them to realise their potentials.
Earlier, the State Coordinator of NYSC in Kaduna, Mr Hassan Taura, said 1,347 Corps members, comprising of 663 males and 684 females were registered for the orientation course.
He noted that during the three-week orientation course, they are expected to take part in all camp activities, such as military drills, citizenship and leadership training, sports, social events and other forms of training that would help in preparing them for the task ahead.
Taura urged the Corps members to be disciplined and always adhere to the rules and regulations of the scheme.
He thanked the Kaduna State Government and other stakeholders for their support to the scheme. (NAN)
