State Coordinator urges Completion of NYSC Camp In Sokoto.
Sokoto State Co-ordinator of the
National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) Mr Thomas Yamma has urged the state
government to prevail on the contractor handling the permanent
orientation camp in Wamakko to quickly complete the project.
Yamma who spoke with newsmen in Sokoto
weekend said the call became necessary as the existing temporary camp at
Government Technical College, Farfaru-Sokoto, is not convenient for
youth corps members.
He explained that students of the school housing the temporary site had to be relocated to neighbouring schools which disrupts their studies. Yamma also said accommodation challenges were common with temporary orientation camps, noting that this would be a forgotten issue when the permanent camp is completed.
“But, since the state government has been constructing a permanent orientation camp at Wamakko, its urgent completion will help in redressing the ugly trend”, he said, adding that the state governor who inspected the permanent camp on Friday also expressed displeasure with non completion of the job since the past five years. The coordinator however commended the state government for the moral, financial assistance and other logistic supports being provided for NYSC members serving in the state, saying serving corps members would surely reciprocate the gesture.
He further disclosed that 1,570 of the 1,830 corps members deployed to the state for the batch ‘’ C’, 2013 had registered as at Wednesday and that 70 per cent of them would be posted to schools in line with the existing posting policy of the scheme.
