NYSC Coordinator Wants Fair Treatment Of Corps Members On Election Duty
Coordinator National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Gombe State, Mr David Markson, has appealed to the general public to treat Corps members on duty during the forthcoming general election with respect.
Markson made the plea in an interview with newsmen on Thursday in Gombe.
He said the corps members were young Nigerians posted for a special national assignment; hence they should be protected against any attack.
“I urge you to treat these corps members as your children and to protect them in the course of discharging their assignment.
“Most of them don’t know the nooks and crannies of the communities like your children who are serving in the other parts of the country,” he said.
He also appealed to the traditional and religious leaders to continue to sensitise their people on the need for violence-free election to attain credible results.
“So I want to appeal to traditional rulers, religious leaders, political parties and all the stakeholders to please take care of these corps members and continue sensitising people on peaceful elections.
He said the corps members were in the state to contribute their own quota to the development of the state and the country at large.
According to him, over 4,000 corps members are to participate in the election duty as presiding/assistant presiding officers and have been trained by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The River State Commissioner for Education, Dr Peters Nwagor has called on media practitioners in Rivers State to deploy their various communication platforms toward promoting government programmes and policies aimed at achieving sustainable development in the education sector. Dr. Nwagor made the appeal when members of the Etche Ethnic Practicing Journalists (EEPJ) paid him a courtesy visit in Office in Port Harcourt. The Commissioner emphasized the strategic role of the media in shaping public perception, promoting government initiatives, and supporting policies capable of improving the quality of education and human capital development in the state. According to him, constructive media engagement remains essential in creating public awareness on educational reforms, students’ welfare, infrastructural improvements, and other interventions being implemented by the state government.
