The National Youth Service Corps on Monday urged newly posted Corps members to accept their postings in good faith.
Coordinator of the scheme in Nasarawa State, Alhaji Abdullahi Jikamshi, gave the advice while addressing the 2021 Batch `B’ Stream I youth corps members posted to the state.
He spoke at the official closing of the orientation course held for the corps members at the Dan Yamusa NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Keffi Local Government Area of the state on Monday.
Jikamshi said the postings were carefully done to enable corps members to be part of the developmental agenda of the present administration by making them contribute positively in certain key areas.
He listed such areas to include: education, healthcare delivery, social engineering, and agriculture, among others for the overall development of their host state.
The NYSC coordinator also urged employers of youth corps members not to reject corps members, posted to their establishments.
“I urge all corps members to accept their postings in good faith. I also urge all corps employers not to reject youth corps members posted to their establishments,” he said.
“We shall visit you without notice at your places of primary assignment to know about how you are faring.
“I am confident and assured that these set of corps members as agents of change will immensely contribute to the development of Nasarawa State with all dedication and commitment,” he said.
The NYSC coordinator revealed that the 1,724 corps members, who successfully completed the three weeks orientation course in the state, were posted to all the local government areas of the state.
“I have no doubt in my mind that you will be good ambassadors of the scheme at your places of primary assignment,’’ he said.
