Insecurity: No corps members’ll be posted to crisis areas – NYSC DG

The Director-General of National Youth Service Corps, Brig.- Gen Suleiman Kazaure, has said no corps member would be posted to any area with security breach within the country. According to a statement signed by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Mrs Adenike Adeyemi, the DG stated this at the Ogun state orientation camp, Sagamu, while addressing the 2018 Batch ‘A’ corps members yesterday. Kazaure said the management of the scheme has put necessary machinery in motion to ensure the safety of all corps members, but warned that on no account should any corps member endanger himself. Kazaure also enjoined the corps members to uphold the ideals of patriotism as responsible citizens in the discharge of their duties in their different places of primary assignment.
“I urge you to be patriotic and dedicated to your duties as you serve your fatherland,” Kazaure added. Ogun State Coordinator, Mr John Okpo, in his remark said there was the need for additional hostels for Corps Members and Camp Officials to ease accommodation problems in the Camp. He also appealed to the state government for prompt payment of state allowance of corps members. Okpo said a total of 2,513 corps members register for the orientation course
