“You must equally obey all camp officials as they are your guardians, and I assure you that if you are law abiding you will have a very fruitful and enjoyable camping exercise.

“On our part, we pledge to do our utmost best to ensure that you experience the regimented nature of camp throughout the duration of the orientation course and the entire service year,’’ she said.

Yakubu said that corps members would be given the opportunity to serve in the various committees set up for the smooth running of the camp.

She said this would give them practical experience in administration and a chance to contribute to decisions that affect them.

Yakubu also commended the state governor. Bala Mohammed for the upgrade of the camp facilities.

“As well as the release of funds to augment feeding of corps members for the orientation exercise,’’ she added.

In his remarks, Mohammed hailed the corps members for their patriotism and enthusiasm demonstrated by reporting to the orientation camp promptly.

Represented by Mr Mohammed Salees, the Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Mohammed urged them to be catalysts for change during their service year.

He further urged them to take the call to service seriously and dedicate themselves towards achieving the scheme’s goal of national unity and development.

“The good people of Bauchi State appreciate and understand the objectives and philosophy of the NYSC.

“In view of this, we have resolved to join hands with you in every way possible to ensure the success of the scheme in the state.

“I implore you to take with utmost seriousness the nation’s clarion call to serve with greater dedication and commitment, the future of this country lies in your hands,” he said. (NAN)
