Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has charged members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to serve with dedication, integrity, and respect for the values of their host communities.
Sani, who was represented by the Commissioner for Youth Development, Barrister Gloria Ibrahim, gave the charge on Tuesday at the closing ceremony of the 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream I orientation course in Kaduna.
He congratulated the corps members on successfully completing their three-week orientation, urging them to imbibe the spirit of patriotism and contribute meaningfully to national development.
The governor emphasised the importance of security consciousness and encouraged corps members to take advantage of the post-camp Skills Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) training to become self-reliant.
He further appealed to employers of labour to warmly receive corps members posted to their organisations, stressing that such support would enable them to discharge their duties with enthusiasm.
Earlier, the State Coordinator of NYSC, Mrs. Efeke Dadaza, commended the corps members for their discipline, commitment, and active participation in camp activities.
She said the corps members had been adequately equipped to proceed to their various places of primary assignment, urging them to remain good ambassadors of the scheme.
Dadaza also encouraged them to identify the needs of their host communities and contribute positively through Community Development Service (CDS) projects.
She urged them to build on their SAED training to become job creators, stressing that self-reliance remained key to overcoming unemployment challenges.
The coordinator expressed appreciation to the Kaduna State Government, stakeholders, and camp officials for their support, which, she said, contributed to the success of the orientation course.
