FCT home to NYSC Corp Members – Dr Tijjani Aliyu

By Joyce Remi- Babayeju

FCT Minister of State, Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, has assured all Corpers posted to the nation’s capital that the Federal Capital Territory would continue to be their home as they serve their one year mandatory youth service scheme.

In a press release signed by SA to FCT Minister of State, Austine Elemue, Aliyu gave this assurance when the management team of the National Youth Service Corps, led by the NYSC FCT Coordinator, Alhj. Abdul Suleman paid a courtesy visit in her office.

She also used the occasion to caution corps members against influencing their redeployment and noted that the services of corps members are not only needed in rural communities, but also in hard to reach communities.

She said, “Your responsiveness to the plight of the people depicts a very high quality of leadership that is missing among our youths, adding those rural areas offer them opportunity to show their leadership qualities.

“It is only in those remote areas that you can think out of the box for the benefit of the people. These are areas that often lack portable water, and other social amenities. Seeing the condition of the people can give you the necessary push to come up with ideas on what to do for the benefit of mankind.”

“The environment in Garki and Wuse will not offer you the opportunity to think of what to do because governments at all levels have provided all the amenities needed for the people. So, for you to get all the latitudes to hit the ground running is for you to serve in rural communities. Please, I urge you all not to work your ways to be redeployed.”

The NYSC FCT Coordinator, Alhj. Abdul Suleman disclosed that the 2021Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course has commenced as scheduled, stressing that in compliance with the COVID-19 preventive protocols, all corps members, camp officials and the entire camp community were screened for the virus and only those who tested negative were allowed into the orientation camp.

He also stated that at the close of registration, a total of 1,340 corps members comprising 679 males and 661 females were registered and sworn-in by the representative of the Chief Judge of the FCT.

Suleman, however, commended the FCT Administration for providing the enabling environment required to host the orientation course, and the tremendous support from the host community.

The highpoint of the event was the presentation of art work to FCT Minister of State by a corps member, Okon Lawrence Idim, with batch number FCT/21A/5096.
