The Governor said that the government frowns at such an attitude that causes unnecessary inconvenience and hardship to corps members.
“Consequently, the government will view with seriousness any reported case of rejection of corps members,” he said.
Aliyu, who was represented by the State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Alhaji Jamiliu Umar Gosta, reiterated that the major objective of the NYSC was to foster unity and integration among the diverse nationalities of Nigeria through the youth.
The Governor disclosed that the state government adopted the policy of engaging a greater percentage of corps members in the education sector to provide a sound educational system upon which its transformation agenda could be realised.
He therefore urged them to pursue the realisation of this goal in practical terms by adopting their host communities as their home and joining in contributing to the community they were posted to in the state, assured of adequate security in the state.
Governor Aliyu promised that the government would continue to provide the enabling environment for them to discharge their responsibilities, even as he assured them of their regular allowances from the state government.
Also speaking in his remarks, the state coordinator of NYSC, Usman Yakubu Yaro, commended the corps members for the discipline and commitment they exhibited throughout the exercise and urged them to take good conduct to their places of primary assignment.”
“Remember, this is an opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of the country, and your performance can earn them special recognition and awards at the local, state, and national levels.”
The State Coordinator appreciated Governor Aliyu, Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, stakeholders, as well as the military, police and other sister security agencies for their support during the orientation exercise.
No less than 1030 corps members took part in the orientation course.
