Eko Hot Blog reports that the Gombe State Government has assured 1,570 corps members deployed to the state of their security and safety.
The corps members were sworn in on Tuesday at the Orientation Camp in Amada Akko Local Government Area by the Gombe Chief Judge, Halima Mohammed.
Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, represented by Commissioner for Youth Development Inuwa Ibrahim, said the government is partnering with security agencies to ensure the corps members enjoy a hitch-free stay.
“Gombe State is peaceful, enjoy your Orientation programme without fear or favour, and rest assured that, the 11 LGAs of Gombe State await to warmly receive you into their fold as the government too, has put in place security measures to ensure your safety, welfare and general well-being,” the governor said.
He admonished the corps members to exercise patience as the government completes work on a permanent orientation camp.
“Exercise a little more patience as in no distant time, the Permanent Orientation Camp at Boltongo will be completed with a magnificent state of art edifice to welcome you to the Jewel in the Savannah,” Yahaya added.
The governor also urged the corps members to avoid vices capable of tarnishing their image and maintain camp rules and regulations.
The coordinator of NYSC Gombe State, Dawut Jidda, told the corps members that the orientation course is designed to instill discipline and leadership skills.
“You will be introduced to healthy competitions on an interplatoon basis and drafted into the administrative operations of the Camp to inculcate in you, the spirit of sportsmanship, discipline, and leadership skills required for the Camp management, service year and beyond,” Jidda said.
