By Idris Ayinde

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has called on corps members’ employers to mentor them properly to enable them to develop their potential for national development.

 

The Bauchi state Coordinator of NYSC, Mrs Rifkatu Yakubu, made the call on Thursday, during the closing ceremony for the 2023 Batch “C” stream II orientation course.

 

She also called on the corps members to always sustain the spirit of patriotism, hard work and resilience imbibed during the orientation course throughout their service year and beyond.

 

“I urge corps employers to mentor them properly to enable them to develop their potential.

 

“I also call on other stakeholders, including State and Local Government authorities as well as traditional rulers, to give the necessary encouragement to the Corps members.

 

“It is my ardent hope that the corps members will strive to meet the expectations of Nigerians by contributing towards the progress and development of our fatherland.

 

“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,” she said.

 

The state Coordinator, who advised the corps members to integrate into their host communities, enjoined them to undertake personal and group community development service projects that would help to uplift the living standard of the people.

 

According to her, the NYSC is liaising with financial institutions and other stakeholders to provide start-up loans to enable them to actualise their business dreams.

 

“My dear corps members, as you proceed to your places of primary assignment, I urge you to be security conscious at all times.

 

“You should avoid acts that can endanger your life such as staying out late, attending night parties, visiting dangerous places, and accepting car rides from strangers.

 

“You can be rest assured that Management remains committed to your security and general welfare.

 

“Accordingly, we are in constant liaison with security agencies and other stakeholders with the view to ensuring your safety as well as addressing other essential needs for a fulfilling service year,” she said.

 

1,689 2023 Batch “C” stream II corps members were posted to Bauchi state for the service year.
