State coordinator of the National youth service Corp (NYSC) in Bauchi, Rifkatu Yakubu has called on Governor Bala Abdulkadir to upgrade the entire camp to meet up to the contemporary demands and increase in population of Corp members.
She made the request yesterday at the induction of 2023 stream one batch C Corp members who took their oaths of allegiance in the Bauchi camp at Wailo, Ganjuwa council area of the state
In her welcome address, she said “May I at this juncture, make a passionate appeal to the State Government for provision of additional hostel accommodations for both corps members and camp officials, provision of additional mattresses and plastic chairs, upgrading of the orientation camp multi-purpose hall to 5000 capacity so as to meet up with the growing population of corps members deployed to the state and reconnection of power supply to the camp and befitting state coordinators residence on camp.”

To the Corp members she went on: “I am ecstatic about their conduct and the warmth and positivity they have shown while eagerly settling into the new environment.
” My dear prospective corps members, may I at this juncture, congratulate and welcome you on board the ship of nation building which you shall be inducted shortly after this address.
” Let me remind you that life in Camp is highly regimented. All camp participants are guided by the camp time table, NYSC bye laws and other policy documents.
” You are therefore admonished to adhere strictly to all rules guiding the operations of the orientation course as any person that acts contrary will be sanctioned accordingly.
“On the number of Corp members registered, she went on: ” I wish to put on record, that at the close of registration by midnight of Sunday 5th November, 2023, a total of 1,325 Corps members comprising of 593 female and 732 male 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.”
In his remarks, Bauchi Governor Sen Bala Abdulkadir congratulated the Corp members on the successful completion of their academic programmes, which has qualified them to be enlisted for the national service to fatherland.
He said that the primary objective of the NYSC scheme is to foster unity and national integration adding that “The philosophy and programmes of the Scheme recognizes the great physical, psychological, mental and intellectual potentials and orientation of our youths.
” The onus, therefore, rests on you to justify the confidence the nation reposes in you. I challenge you to seize the initiative and champion the course of national development and transformation. I am hopeful that, like your predecessors, you are in a state of readiness for this national assignment. ” he posited
Admonishing the youth Corp members further he said: “Those who served before you laid a good and solid foundation. I hope you will continue to build on the legacy they left behind. The good people of Bauchi State appreciate and understand the objectives and philosophy of the NYSC.
“The future of this country lies in your hands. You have a most important role to play in shaping our corporate destiny.
“You must never mortgage this unique opportunity and you must not shirk your responsibility towards the nation.
” This orientation course is the take-off point in your march towards greater heights and future attainments. It is designed to acquaint you with the ways and norms of your host communities.
” It is designed to educate you on their socio-political and cultural background. All this is intended to expose you to the peculiar challenges of your host communities so you can assist them to creatively meet these challenges.
” I advise you to start thinking right from the camp on initiating meaningful Community Development Service projects in your areas of primary assignment. This, I believe, should occupy your mind and keep you from inappropriate behaviours while in camp and during service.
“Finally, let me assure you that Bauchi State is for you a “home away from home”. Our people, as you will find out for yourselves, are hospitable, friendly and caring. I urge you to avail yourselves of this hospitable, friendly and accommodating environment to gain a greater and deeper understanding of the people of our great country. This indeed is an opportunity for you to enrich your life and experience.” said Bala
