The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has appealed to Borno Government to move the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, out of its permanent orientation camp in the interest of peace.

Coordinator of the NYSC in the state, Rabiu Aminu, made the appeal in Katsina on Monday at the closing ceremony of the 2017 Batch `B’ Stream Two Orientation for corps members deployed to Borno and Katsina States.

“The NYSC is appealing to the state government to close the IDPs camps at the permanent orientation camp in Borno with the aim of integrating the displaced persons into the society.

“The integration of the displaced person into the society will allow the people to continue with their normal lives,’’ he said.

The coordinator said that if the state government allowed the corps members to conduct their orientation course in Maiduguri, it would be cheaper for the government.

“If the corps members deployed to Borno State are allowed to do their orientation in the state, it will reduce the expenditure and risk of traveling to Katsina State for the orientation purpose,” he said.

In her remarks, the NYSC Coordinator in Katsina State, Ramatu Sanda said that the corps members were posted to four critical needs of the state, which included education, agriculture, rural health and infrastructure.

Mrs Sanda called on corps members to present themselves to their employers and be ambassadors of their states and schools.

“If you exhibit positive attitude to your employers, there is no doubt in my mind that they will go to any length to make you comfortable throughout the service year,” she said.

The coordinator commended Katsina State Government for accommodating Borno State corps members deployed to the camp.

In his contribution, the Special Adviser to Governor Aminu Masari on Youth Development, Ibrahim Aminu said that the Katsina Government had placed emphasis on education, agriculture, healthcare and infrastructure.

“It is the state government belief that these key sectors of the economy cannot be achieved with concentration of efforts at the city centre.

“The state government is building more roads, hospitals, schools and clusters of industries so that the corps members that specialised in various disciplines will be absorbed in those places for primary assignment,” he said.

NYSC has deployed corps members posted to Borno State to observe their orientation camp in Katsina due to Boko Haram insurgency.
