Niger State governor, Alh. Abubakar Sani Bello, has commended youth corps members that participated in the last general election across the country for their courage and love for fatherland.
Bello gave the commendation at the swearing in of Batch ‘A’ Corps members at the Paikoro Orientation Camp ground.
Bello, who was represented on the occasion by the state Commissioner for Water Resources, Maman Musa Bosso, told the corps members, “Your non-partisanship in the electoral process contributed to the successes recorded in the elections.”
The governor also assured the youth corps members of adequate security throughout their one year stay for their primary assignment.
“We pride ourselves as the most peaceful state in the country,” he said.
Earlier, the state Co-Ordinator of NYSC, Mrs. Funmilayo Ajayi, said a total of 2,000 corps members were posted to Niger State out of which 1,997 had already registered.
She urged the state governor to ensure the completion of the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, saying, “The completion of the Orientation Camp is an issue of great concern to NYSC.”
