The Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, has approved the construction of a 3000h Capacity Multipurpose Hall, and donated the sum of five million naira towards the transportation of Corps members deployed to Nasarawa State, at the Magaji Dan Yamusa NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Keffi.
This was contained in his farewell address to Corps members during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Batch A Stream II Orientation Course at the Magaji Dan Yamusa NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Keffi on Tuesday 7th May, 2024.
A total of 2154 Corps members successfully completed the 2024 Batch A Stream II Orientation Course.
While assuring the Corps members that Nasarawa State is an ideal place to live and work, Engr. Sule equally urged Corps members to adhere strictly to the security guideline and safety measures as stated by the State Coordinator.
He further admonished Corps members to keenly explore the possibilities of a meaningful service year in Nasarawa State.
The governor said, “Contribute wholeheartedly to the progress of the communities you would serve. Your service goes beyond mere duty. It is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the development of the State.
” I therefore urge you to embrace your postings as they have been done in line with the posting policies of the Scheme and the felt needs of the State. Your postings to the nook and crannies of the State is geared towards achieving the objectives of the Scheme and also towards bringing development to the grassroots. Therefore, see your posting as a clarion call to render selfless service to the good people of the State.
” At this juncture, I earnestly appeal to Corps Employers not to reject corps members posted to their establishments. Rejecting Corps members puts a snag on their zeal to serve.
” While congratulating you on the successful completion of the orientation course, it is common knowledge that there would equally be corps members after you, who will have their orientation here. It is on this premise, that I make a solid commitment to commence works on the construction of a 3000 Capacity Multi-purpose Hall, one befitting of the Scheme and which would be adequate for all events on camp.
” My dear Corps members, as you leave the camp today, I wish you a rewarding service year and journey mercies to your various places of primary assignment at the end of this ceremony. I hereby declare the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Stream II Orientation Course.”
