By Idris Ayinde

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has called on corps members across the country to sustain the spirit of patriotism, hard work and resilience through their service year and beyond.

The Bauchi state Coordinator of the scheme, Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu made the call on Tuesday during the closing ceremony for the 2024 Batch ‘A’ stream II orientation course at the permanent orientation camp in Wailo, Ganjuwa Local Government Area of the state.

She said this would enable them to strive to meet the expectations of Nigerians by contributing towards the progress and development of their fatherland.

“I wish to commend your patriotic zeal as demonstrated by your participation in camp activities and exhibition of high level of discipline.

“Your letters of posting to Places of Primary Assignment will be handed to you soon after this ceremony. In this regard, I would like to remind you of your oath of allegiance in which you pledged to accept posting in good faith.

“I enjoin you to perform your duties with diligence and be guided by the provisions of the NYSC Act and Bye-laws as well as workplace rules and regulations.

“In keeping with the objectives of the Scheme, you are expected to integrate into your host communities while also appreciating and respecting their cultures,” she said.

According to her, the scheme is liaising with financial institutions and other stakeholders with a view to providing start-up loans to enable the corps members actualise their business dreams.

She assured that the management would continue to explore avenues to optimise the impact of the NYSC ‘s programmes.

It could be recalled that 2,172 corps members were posted to the state for the 2024 Batch ‘A’ stream II service year.
