The Director-General of National Youth Service Corps, (NYSC) Brigadier General Muhammad Kaku Fadah has commended Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom for the provision of a 3,000-seater lecture hall for the state’s Orientation Camp.
The Director General who gave the commendation on Sunday when he paid a working visit to the Orientation Camp in Wannune, stated that the hall when completed, would make Orientation Course activities more convenient for both Staff and Corps Members.
General Fadah applauded Governor Ortom for his favourable disposition to NYSC Benue in State and urged other Governors to perform their statutory obligations to the NYSC Secretariats in their respective States.
While addressing the Corps Members undergoing their three weeks orientation in Camp, General Muhammad Kaku Fadah urged them to be disciplined and obey the constituted authorities throughout their service year.
He also advised them to avoid hard drugs, night travelling and cultism among other vices.
“Don’t take drugs and don’t sell drugs, use the social media responsibly and not in a negative way.
“Always be mindful of your personal safety and use the opportunities of the Orientation Course to create a long-lasting relationship with good memories.”
The Director-General urged the Corps Members to acquire vocational skills from NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development, adding that it would make them job creators instead of job applicants.
Speaking further, General Fadah added that they would be among the beneficiaries of the NYSC Trust Fund, which is at an advanced stage of being passed into law.
The NYSC Benue State Coordinator, Mr Abe Dankaro Ashumate said the 1,137 Corps Members registered as at the time of the visit have displayed a high sense of responsibility and discipline.
He attributed the smooth operations of the camp assignments to the teamwork among the entire camp officials.
