CALABAR- DIRECTOR General of the National Youth Service Corps,
NYSC, Brigadier General Johnson Olawumi says the Corps has since
suspended the posting of youth corps members to the North East states of
Adamawa, Yobe and Borno and any one who wants to be posted or is serving in any
of those states is on his or her own.
Brigadier Olawumi who stated this at
the annual Management Conference of the NYSC taking place in Calabar stated
that insecurity in the North East region has claimed the lives o f
many Corps members in the region making it inadvisable for young people
to be posted there while insecurity persists.
*Corps members on parade…How
literate are they?
The NYSCC Director General stated
that the annual Management Confere4nce is an opportunity for top management and
staff of the scheme to take stock and appraise critical operations of the
scheme taking into cognizance its mandate and service charter.
“The Conference gives room for
expressions of opinion and generation of new ideas with ultimate aim of
surmounting whatever challenges that are facing the scheme”
He said the theme for this
year’s conference, Evolving Dynamic Operational Strategies to Tackle present
challenges in the NYSC is in tune with current security realities in the
country and it is with the view to improving on the service delivery of the
Corps.
“The NYSC scheme no doubt in the
past 41 years has faced a lot of challenges including inadequate orientation
camp facilities, non fulfillment of statutory obligation by some critical
stakeholders and security issues it is therefore with a view to over coming
these challenges that makes this year’s theme apt for the annual conference”.
Chief Gordon Bozimo, the Chairman
NYSC Governing Board said since the inauguration of the board a year ago, there
have been constructive engagement of state governments for sustainable
development of physical infrastructure at the orientation camps and provision
of other statutory support which many states have responded positively.
He said the Board is planning a
review of the Corps Insurance policy scheme with a view to making it mor
sensitive and responsive in the delivery of services to corps members.
Mr Liye;L Imoke, the Cross River
State governor in his speech said the state was the highest employer of serving
corps members in the country because of its believe in rewarding dedicated and
loyal corps members.
Imoke who was represented by his
deputy, Mr Efiok Cobham said the NYSC which is forty one years should go
beyound its original concept of national integration and make
evolve strategies which will make the National Youth Service Corps more beneficial
to the people and communities the ‘Corpers’ are servicing.
He prised the National Youth Service
Corps skill, acquisition programme which he said will meet the needs of current
challenges of unemployment in the country and assured the scheme of the
continued support and partnership of the state government.
