” 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.

I am hopeful that, like your predecessors, you are in a state of readiness for this national assignment. ” he posited

“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

Security sources said the operation followed intelligence provided by a local resident, Malam Muhammadu Ardo, concerning alleged cattle rustling activities within the area.

The rustled cattle were recovered and immediately handed over to their rightful owners at the scene of the arrest.
