Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has assured corps members that their security and welfare have been adequately catered for in the state’s security arrangements and budget.
The Governor who was represented by Stephen Joseph, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Human Services and Social Development, during the swearing-in ceremony of the Corps members on Friday, assured that his government has unwavering faith in the scheme.
Governor Sani said his government is firmly committed to providing the needed enabling environment to keep the scheme viable and ensure the safety and welfare of corps members.
He insisted that the security of lives and properties is a top priority in the state, assuring the corps members of a conducive environment to make their stay worthwhile in the state.
While tasking the corps members to be committed to the progress and development of Kaduna State and the nation in general, Governor Sani said, “Together, we can build bridges of understanding, togetherness, empower communities and live a lasting legacy of positive change.”
Mr Hassan Kaura, the NYSC State Coordinator, had earlier reminded the corps members that discipline is one of the key watchwords of the scheme and urged them to be disciplined and ensure that they uphold the values for which the Scheme stands during and after the orientation course.
About 858 corps members of the 2023 batch ‘B’ stream one started their compulsory one-year national service under National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Scheme in Kaduna.
