The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has urged youth corps members posted to Borno to focus on ways to impact positively on their host communities.
The NYSC Coordinator for Borno, Mr Nura Umar, made the call during the closing ceremony of the 2022 Batch ‘B’ stream one orientation on Tuesday in Katsina state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the NYSC members posted to Borno were being deployed to Katsina
for their three weeks orientation exercise.
The coordinator also urged them to concentrate and embark on their Community Development Services (CDS) projects
immediately for the development of their host communities.
According to him, such will give them the opportunity to impact positively on the lives of their host communities, especially in the area of education, health, water, among others.
Umar told the youth corps members that the scheme was collaborating with security agencies to protect them.
He announced that the NYSC members, comprising 469 females and 476 males, went through the COVID-19 screening
before having access to the camp, and they all tested negative.
He commended the Borno and Katsina state governments, security agencies and other stakeholders for the support
given them during the three weeks orientation.
In Kaduna State, Gov. Nasir El-Rufai, said the state government was passionate about the security of NYSC members and other citizens of the state.
El-Rufai said this on Tuesday in Kaduna at the closing ceremony of the 2022 Batch ‘B’ stream ‘I’ youth corps members’ orientation.
