About 1,340 batch ‘A’ stream II corps members deployed to Kaduna State by the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) took their oath of allegiance at the scheme’s permanent orientation camp, Sabon Gaya, Kaduna.
The Commissioner, Ministry of Human Services and Social Development, Hajiya Hafsat Baba who presided over the swearing in ceremony of the young Nigerians reassured them of their security and welfare within and outside the orientation camp.
Hafsat, who spoke through the Coordinator of NYSC in the State, Isa Wana, urged the corps members to be security conscious and comply to all the COVID-19 protocols as prescribed by the Nigerian Center for Disease Control (NCDC) in their interest and that of their loved ones.
According to her, “as you take the Oath of Allegiance and formally enroll into the National service, I commend your sense of patriotism for heeding to the clarion call to serve the nation here in Kaduna state in spite of the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic”.
She urged them to adhere to the protocols on COVID-19 as prescribed by the Nigerian Center for Disease Control (NCDC), for the safety of the camp.
On its part, the Kaduna State government through the NYSC State Governing Board has made all necessary arrangements to ensure that their stay in is peaceful, hitch-free, safe and result-oriented.
