Bauchi state Governor, Isa Yuguda, has urged Community leaders in the state to be helpful to the corps members posted to the state even as he stressed that they would be held responsible where the security of the youths is threatened in their various areas.
Speaking yesterday during the closing ceremonies of the three-week orientation course held at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) temporary camp in Kangere, Bauchi state, Yuguda said the corps members contributed immensely to the development of the society, hence the need for all to show them care and affection in their communities.
“Let me reiterate that government will hold leaders of our communities responsible where the security of corps members is threatened in any part of the state.”
The governor, who said government would collaborate with security agencies, traditional, community and religious leaders to ensure the safety of the youth, however, admonished them to be vigilant in order to detect the evil machinations of anti-social elements.
He said: “My dear corps members, you are advised to be law abiding, respect the traditions and culture of your host communities. Shun all attitudes and behaviours that run counter to the ideals of nationalism. Stay at your places of primary assignment and travel only whenever necessary.”
