Published

on

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has called on all corps members participating in the 2023 general elections to adhere strictly with the guidelines contained in the electoral Act.

The Director General of NYSC, Brig:-Gen Yushau Ahmed, made the call at the closing ceremony of the 2023 Batch ‘A’ stream I orientation course at the permanent orientation camp, Wailo, Ganjuwa Local Government Area of Bauchi state on Tuesday.

Represented by the Bauchi state Coordinator of the scheme, Alhaji Namadi Abubakar, the DG also enjoined the corps members to participate in the elections with a high sense of responsibility and remained neutral throughout the exercise.

“As was the case with the previous elections conducted from 2008, Corps members will form the majority of ad hoc personnel that will be enlisted for the conduct of the exercise.

“It will interest you to know that the performance of your predecessors contributed to the credibility of the previous elections and earned NYSC accolades from both local and foreign observers.

“As you get set to partake in this important national assignment, I would like to assure you that we have secured the commitment of the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies regarding your welfare and safety before, during and after the elections,” he said.

He explained that NYSC would continue to liaise with financial institutions and other stakeholders with a view to providing start-up loans to enable the corps members actualise their business dreams which they participated in during the skill acquisition training.

Ahmed further assured that management would continue to explore avenues for optimising the impact of the programme.

Also speaking, Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state, implored the corps members to internalise the ideas of the scheme and pursue with patriotic zeal, the realization of all set of Nation goals in pragmatic terms.

Represented by his deputy, Alhaji Baba Tela, the governor also congratulated the corps members for their high level of discipline, comportment and resilience exhibited during the orientation exercise.

“You have not only lived up to expectations, but have also completed the orientation programme without any hitch.

“I am convinced that you have not only transformed to greater Nigerians, but you are now poised to putting our dear country on the positive path of sustainable development,” he said.
