Poised to upgrade facilities at the state’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camp, Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has handed over the 5,000 capacity state-of-the-art Auditorium built by his administration to the corps in the state.
Inaugurating the project at the Orientation Camp, Nonwa-Gbam, Tai, last Thursday, the Director General, NYSC, Brigadier General Muhammad Kaku Fadah, described the project as representing an architectural masterpiece and urged other state governors to emulate the gesture.
Fadah, who doubled as the Special Guest at the occasion noted that no NYSC camp in the country has such auditorium, expressing hope that the other state governors would borrow a leaf from the Rivers State governor and ensure a comfortable stay of corps members on camp.
While noting the numerous people-oriented projects of governor Wike to the scheme in the state, Fadah stated that the governor was indeed”setting the pace in terms of commitment to providing critical infrastructure needed to create a conducive environment for corps members undergoing training during orientation course exercises in the state to have a sense of belonging and well-being”.
The NYSC boss expressed deep gratitude to the governor for giving the state orientation camp a face-lift with the ultra modern auditorium.
“Governor Wíke has done a lot for us. This occasion offers us a unique opportunity to appreciate your numerous people-oriented projects. It is also heart-warming to note that the state government under your able leadership has done a lot for NYSC”, he said.
Earlier at the Passing-Out Ceremony of the 2022 Batch B, Stream 2 Corps Members, Fadah charged the corps members to remain security conscious at all times and shun acts that are capable of endangering their lives, including staying out late, taking ride from strangers and attending night parties.
Fadah said, “the scheme is in constant liaison with security agencies and other critical stakeholders to ensure your safety always as well as in addressing other essential needs that will enable you have a fulfilling service year”.
A total of 1,288 corps members successfully completed the orientation exercise in the state.
