Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has promised to rehabilitate some of the facilities at the FCT National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Orientation Camp, Kubwa.
Wike stated this yesterday in Abuja during the opening ceremony of the National Youth Service Corps 2024 Batch ‘B’ Pre-Mobilisation Workshop with the theme, “Strengthening Collaboration with Stakeholders for Effective NYSC Mobilisation Process.”
Represented by the Head of FCT Civil Service, Samuel Atang, the minister said it received the request for the rehabilitation of facilities to provide a conducive environment for corps members.
“So, we will be liaising with the appropriate authority within the corps to make sure that the rehabilitation process and provision of other basic facilities are completed within the shortest possible time.
“This will be in addition to other numerous support to the Scheme by the FCT administration. I assure you that we will continue to support NYSC in achieving its mandate in the Federal Capital Territory and indeed the nation.”
He admonished the participants to give due attention to the discourse and contribute meaningfully so as to come up with workable solutions that will enhance the mobilisation process.
In his welcome address, the Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier-General Yusha’u Ahmed said the mobilisation process is not merely a procedural necessity, but the foundation upon which the edifice of national service is built.
“The mobilisation process is the first step in a journey that shapes the lives of a very large number of Nigerian youths. It is therefore imperative that we are circumspect in the course of this exercise.
“Let us take this opportunity to reflect on our past successes, analyse our current practices and envision a future were NYSC continues to be a beacon of hope and a catalyst for national development,” the director-general said.
