1,600 corps members deployed to Bauchi as NYSC assures impactful service

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has deployed 1,600 corps members to Bauchi State, assuring that the corps members would deliver maximum impact on their host communities.

The Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, made the assurance in Bauchi on Tuesday during the closing ceremony of the 2025 Batch ‘A’ stream 1 orientation course.

Represented by the Bauchi state Coordinator of NYSC, Rifkatu Yakubu, the DG lauded the patriotism, loyalty, patience, perseverance, understanding and good conduct of the corps members during the orientation course.

He said, “By your show of maturity, patriotism, loyalty, commitment, discipline and tolerance, I am convinced that our three-week stay at camp has not been in vain and that you will have a maximum impact on your host communities during the service year.

“As you embark on the second phase of the service year, I enjoin you to continue to be obedient, loyal and diligent and endeavour to settle down quickly when you get to your places of primary assignment and adapt to the ways of life there.

“Do your best to obey the rules governing your host communities and learn to appreciate their customs and culture, and ensure that you leave them better than you will meet them through your community development projects.”

While appreciating all the collaborating agencies that sent their personnel to assist the scheme in the running of the camp, Nafiu also lauded the NYSC staff for being at their very best to ensure a seamless exercise.

He also commended the Bauchi state Government for providing a conducive environment and security for both corps members and camp officials, saying the contributions have made the exercise a huge success.
